Chiropractic adjustments are sometimes referred to as chiropractic manipulation, spinal manipulation, or manual manipulation. Adjustment refers to manipulation or pressure given to the vertebrae that fail to function normally, or vertebrae that are off and/or impinged. The intention of a chiropractic adjustment is to reduce the misalignment with the objective of reducing nerve irritation, improving range of motion and function.
Chiropractic care works by first relieving the tension or inflammation to the delicate nerves of the spine. After chiropractic adjustments are made, and pressure is removed from the spinal nerves, relief is almost instantaneous. And chiropractic care isn’t just for your spine! Just about every part of your body can be treated with the variety of treatment options available in our office.
Dr. Southworth utilizes many different techniques of manipulation or adjustments including a manual high velocity and low amplitude (HVLA), activator method, or manual low velocity and low amplitude (HVLA). The method of adjustment is based upon Dr. Southworth’s preference, the patient’s comfort and preference, and the response of previous experience, treatment, and adjustments. He will work with you to find the most effective way to treat your current condition.
