How do chiropractic adjustments work?

A certified chiropractor will adjust your body's joints as part of a therapeutic procedure known as a chiropractic adjustment. Other names for this therapy include joint manipulation and spinal manipulation. The alignment of your body and how it physically functions can all be improved with a chiropractic adjustment.

What is the function of a chiropractor? Aches, pains, groans, and strains are treated by chiropractors. A chiropractor can provide non-pharmaceutical alternative means of treatment if your issue involves your musculoskeletal system.

A chiropractor may offer the following types of treatment:


Adjustments: realigning joints gently to relieve discomfort and improve range of motion

Soft tissue treatment: to loosen up tense muscles, put an end to spasms, and let go of tension in the connective tissue that encircles each muscle (fascia).

Stretches and exercises: help maintain and restore joint mobility and stability.

Taping or bracing a joint (Kinesio taping): to aid in the recovery of injured muscles or joints.

Referrals to professionals in integrative medicine: For advice on diet and nutrition to control weight and/or promote healthy eating to reduce inflammation.

How long does it take for a chiropractic adjustment to take effect? Many people experience virtually instant symptom improvement following chiropractic treatment. You can experience soreness for 24 hours after treatment. Instead of temporarily relieving your symptoms, chiropractic adjustment aims to restore your health over time. Your chiropractor will advise you to become more aware of how your body should be positioned at your desk when you're moving around while standing, and while you're in bed. Additionally, they could advise including stretching in your everyday regimen. These long-term suggestions can


aid in averting future issues. You can find excellent chiropractors in The Spinal Studio Prahran based on Prahran.
