Chiropractic adjustments are the bread and butter of Dr. Pete Lazarnick's Carrollton, GA, practice. Before you come in, we believe it's best for patients to know exactly what chiropractic adjustments are and what they are used for in the world of chiropractic care.
What are chiropractic adjustments?
Chiropractic adjustments are a non-invasive way to manipulate the position of the spine or joints by applying targeted force to the body. There are a variety of styles and approaches to this process, but they can largely be divided into manual and mechanical adjustments. Manual adjustments involve your chiropractor using their hands to apply pressure and perform adjustments, whereas mechanical adjustments recruit the help of chiropractic tools such as the activator and chiropractic tables.
Chiropractic care is a natural option for many conditions that could otherwise require medication or more invasive treatment options. The process is generally pain-free, although patients often hear a popping sound during the procedure. This is just gas being released from the joints. With over 50 years of experience, you can trust Dr. Pete of Carrollton, GA, to provide the highest quality chiropractic adjustments.
What are chiropractic adjustments used for?
Chiropractic adjustments have long been proven to improve musculoskeletal function, reduce pain and inflammation, and more. They can cure or improve a variety of conditions, including:
- sciatica
- neck and back pain
- migraines
- arthritis
- postural issues
- and many others
When the spine or extremities are out of alignment, it can cause issues across the entire body. Left untreated, a small misalignment can cause injuries and chronic conditions. This is why we use chiropractic adjustments to improve the body's nerve function, alignment, and overall functional health.
