“Can Kirkland chiropractor care really put my bones back in their rightful places?” is often our patients’ primary question.
Note that chiropractic work does not consist of pushing bones back into their proper places; rather, we specialize in opening up joint spaces to increase needed motion.
Many people mistakenly believe that when they hear a popping or cracking sound during spinal adjustment, it indicates their bones shifting back into place. Unfortunately, that is not always the case!
1. Increased Mobility
Chiropractic adjustments help combat degeneration by loosening fixated bones of the spine (subluxations). Correcting subluxations allows a normal threshold to be maintained while gently breaking up adhesions.
This allows your spine to move more efficiently, relieving any associated discomfort while giving you a stronger feel overall and expanding your range of motion.
Cracked noises during an adjustment are normal; this noise results from joint spaces expanding due to spinal manipulation.
As your body adjusts to chiropractic adjustment, you’ll find yourself exercising more freely and confidently, which makes improving performance easier while preventing future injuries much simpler.
2. Relieves Pain
When your spinal bones shift out of position, it can create pain throughout your entire body. Chiropractic treatment aims to restore natural alignment of your spine in order to alleviate pain.
Chiropractors offer comprehensive care, rather than simply treating one area.
They also take an innovative approach to spinal health and care, which can identify any misalignments in your spine so you can enjoy living the life you want.
An adjustment involves using a chiropractic technician’s special hand-held device to apply pressure to your vertebrae in order to correct joint misalignments, often leading to popping or cracking noises that indicate correct realignment.
3. Reduces Inflammation
Chiropractic care can assist in the reduction of inflammation in the body. While inflammation serves an essential protective purpose in protecting us against injuries and illness, its overactive immune response may cause permanent harm to cells and tissues in the body.
A good chiropractor will work to enhance your lifestyle in order to reduce inflammation naturally without side effects such as medication. Aside from spinal adjustments, they may suggest other therapies like exercise, stretching, diet management and weight management.
Inflammation is a chronic problem associated with many medical conditions and illnesses, including asthma, allergies, obesity, heart disease and joint disorders. While treating inflammation can be challenging, with proper management plans it can be managed effectively.
4. Improves Sleep
Sleep is essential to overall health and wellbeing, yet many adults aren’t getting enough restful slumber, often awakening feeling more exhausted than when they went to bed.
Chiropractic adjustments may help improve your quality of sleep through spinal adjustments. They can alleviate tension that has an adverse impact on sleeping patterns and decrease your risk for chronic issues like backache and migraines.
Chiropractic adjustments may also help you relax and sleep better by increasing circulation and releasing endorphins – natural pain-relief chemicals – into the body. This may help ensure a restful night’s rest so you wake up feeling rejuvenated and more alert than before.
5. Increases Energy
Chiropractic treatments help your central nervous system work more effectively, giving your body more energy and providing a greater sense of well-being.
Spine adjustments help relieve spinal subluxations restrictions that lead to insomnia and fatigue. Subluxations is often the source of these sleep issues and should therefore be corrected through adjustments for maximum effectiveness.
By eliminating restrictions in the spine, eliminating pain and increasing flexibility, releasing tension can reduce discomfort while making for easier sleeping patterns and better nights of restful slumber – giving a natural energy boost!
