What's a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment and spinal manipulation are pretty much the same thing, just different words for it. But when doctors and researchers talk about it, they usually say ‘spinal manipulation.’ So, what is it? Well, it’s a kind of therapy where a chiropractor carefully moves the joints in your spine and gives them a little push to help them move better. Long ago, people thought it was all about putting bones in your spine back in their right places. But now, with more research, we know it’s more about easing pain and making you move better.
Are Chiropractic Adjustments Safe?
Chiropractic care is a safe and gentle treatment for back and neck pain. Sometimes, after the first couple of sessions, you might feel a bit sore, like you do after trying a new exercise. People worry that neck adjustments can lead to strokes, but this is really rare. Some experts think that neck adjustments might make a stroke that’s already happening worse, but they don’t usually cause strokes. Like with any medical treatment, there are some risks. But if you compare chiropractors to other doctors, they have some of the lowest malpractice insurance costs. In our office, we always work to keep risks low, explain everything clearly, and give you choices at every step
Chiropractic Adjustments for Kids by Dr. Gunderson
Dr. Gunderson offers specific, gentle adjustments appropriate to the infant and child’s spine and cranium. These spinal adjustments involve very light fingertip pressure to correct spinal misalignments. This amount of “force” is often not more than a finger touch to a maximum of two pounds. This is usually sufficient to restore mobility to spinal joints that have become locked and are causing interference to the normal nervous system function.
