Spinal Alignment and Its Role in Your Life
No matter what that life might entail, you want to live it to the fullest. Unfortunately, pain and other unwanted symptoms can get in the way of this happening, but you don’t have to let them. Dr. Holmes, Dr. Saccente, and the team at Monmouth Spine & Soft Tissue in Morganville, NJ, share how chiropractic adjustments can help.
The Impact of Spinal Misalignment
Most people don’t think about their spines too often, but we all rely on them every day. They support our movements, our work, our sleep, and every other aspect of our daily lives.
The heavy involvement in everything we do makes the spine a common place for injuries, especially a misalignment. This injury simply means that a bone in your spinal column has shifted out of its proper place.
While that might sound fairly harmless, the truth is that even a slight misalignment can throw everything off-balance. It causes the soft tissues to work harder to hold you upright and creates undue pressure on the discs.
These often lead to muscle tension, herniated discs, nerve compression, and more. And nerve compression can lead to many other issues, including burning, numbness, tingling, hormonal dysregulation, and poor organ function. To put it simply, a spinal misalignment can lead to everything from chronic pain and tension to health issues – all of which can impact how you feel and function.
Adjustments: What They Are and How They Help
Adjustments are a simple technique used to correct misalignment. They involve the chiropractor feeling for troubled areas and the application of a quick, controlled amount of force to shift the misaligned bone back into place. This relieves the pressure on the surrounding components, including the nerves.
Adjustments are the core of chiropractic care and are used to treat a wide range of symptoms and issues, including:
- Back and neck pain
- Hip pain
- Shoulder pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica
- Sports injuries
- Auto injuries
- Tension and other soft tissue problems
To provide optimal relief, other techniques, such as soft tissue therapies, are typically combined with adjustments to ensure the underlying issue is treated fully.
