Chiropractic Techniques are therapeutic approaches used by chiropractors to treat musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the spine, muscles, joints, and ligaments. Chiropractic care is based on the belief that spinal alignment affects the nervous system, and misalignments (referred to as subluxations) can lead to pain, discomfort, and dysfunction in other areas of the body. The primary goal of chiropractic treatment is to alleviate pain, restore function, and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.

Chiropractors employ a variety of manual manipulation techniques, exercises, and modalities to treat their patients. These techniques focus on relieving pain, improving movement, and supporting the body’s overall wellness.

• What it is: The cornerstone of chiropractic care, spinal manipulation involves the controlled application of force to a specific joint in the spine. It’s designed to restore movement, alleviate pain, and improve function by addressing subluxations (misalignments) of the spine.
• How it works: A chiropractor uses their hands to apply a quick, controlled thrust to a vertebra. This adjustment can reduce pain, improve mobility, and may release gas bubbles trapped in the joint, causing an audible “popping” sound.
• Indications: Back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and general musculoskeletal pain.
• Benefits: Restores spinal alignment, reduces pain, improves movement, and enhances the body’s ability to heal.
