Chiropractor Clinic in Golden Valley, MN

Chiropractic adjustments, or manipulation as it is sometimes referred to, is the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine that is often used in chiropractic clinics in Golden Valley, MN. The objective of this movement or appointment is to help realign vertebrae that may have moved out of place for several reasons. This can range from something as minor as normal daily activity to more major events like trauma from accidents such as a car collision. When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from the muscular system to the central nervous system and can often cause discomfort in various areas for the client. Without proper alignment and flow that includes all of the nerves and various systems in the body that come from the brain, we can't function at our peak.

A chiropractic adjustment is often a pressure or movement that is made by the chiropractor utilizing their hands or another instrument to move vertebrae back into place. This happens with a quick movement and is usually done without discomfort to the patient. You may hear a noise that sounds like you're cracking your knuckles. This is also often referred to as joint cavitation or the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.

Overall, adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level. When the body is in alignment, the body can respond and perform as it was designed to. If you’re interested in chiropractic alignment, be sure to schedule an appointment with us at Back in Shape Chiropractic by calling us or visiting our request appointment page today!
