Chiropractic Adjustment vs Spinal Decompression
When booking an appointment with your chiropractor,It’s important to know the difference so that you can choose the option that’s best for you and your symptoms.
A chiropractic adjustment involves an application of controlled force to a joint in the spine in order to improve the motion of the spine and the overall physical function. During this procedure, a trained chiropractor will lay you in a position allowing them to work the affected areas.
When is it a good time to go in for a chiropractic adjustment?
Those suffering from chronic low back pain or neck pain or regular headaches with no definable cause can find relief and long-term well-being in a chiropractic adjustment.
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment to ease pain or irritation. This treatment addresses pain in the spine when it’s compressed, which stops blood flow to the affected area, which in turn slows the oxygen to the area and limits the nutrients. Spinal decompression involved making space between the vertebrae, letting the oxygen and nutrients flow unobstructed to the spine and easing general pain, specific pain, and even migraines.
