Chiropractic Treatment Used to Correct Neck Misalignments
An “adjustment” or realigning the vertebrae of the spine aims at fixing the motion and function of a dysfunctional joint. There are many ways to achieve proper alignment in the spine.
At Lifespring chiropractic in Austin TX, we use many techniques of chiropractic neck adjustment. A few traditional treatment techniques involve traditional popping or cracking. Other techniques like upper cervical care do not involve any cracking or popping. These techniques are just as effective if not more effective than the traditional ones. Some upper cervical techniques involve the use of a spring-loaded instrument that feels like a light tapping.
Check our Youtube channel to see the gentle adjustment techniques that do not use cracking.
Are chiropractic neck adjustments safe?
The movies are fake! People don’t walk around breaking necks!. A chiropractic neck adjustment is actually very safe. Just ask our insurance companies. Insurance is objectively based on how much risk is at stake. Each chiropractor requires malpractice insurance to cover them in case of an accident or injury to a patient. This insurance varies from city to city. Of all healthcare professionals, chiropractors often have the lowest cost of malpractice insurance. The reason is a low risk here.
The only slight side effect of a chiropractic adjustment may be soreness the day after an adjustment as the body heals. This soreness is pretty much like the feeling after a new workout. Being trained in upper cervical techniques, a Doctor of Chiropractic will utilize the best one that will be most safe and effective. An Austin chiropractor will choose the optimal technique based on the age and specific health issues of patients. Schedule your first appointment with us now!
