Spinal Adjustments in Mint Hill NC

Today I would like to discuss the chiropractic hands-on technique known as a spinal adjustment. However before I do, it is important to explain that chiropractic care is based on three main beliefs.

The first fundamental belief is that your body has a natural and powerful ability to heal itself. The second fundamental belief is that your nervous system is the main controlling system of your body. The third belief is that an interference with the nervous system can cause your body to function or cause disease.

Chiropractors in Mint Hill NC use as their primary treatment a chiropractic spinal adjustment. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to remove interference in the Nervous system.

Importance of Spinal Adjustments in Mint Hill

International Chiropractor’s Association (ICA) states,” The chiropractic spinal adjustment is unique and singular to the chiropractic profession and it is characterized by a specific thrust applied to the vertebra utilizing parts of the vertebra and contiguous structures as the levers to directionally correct articular malposition.”

The adjustment will involve force to specific areas with therapeutic intent. This force is most often done by hand, but other instruments may be used. The force varies with your particular problem and the technique your chiropractor is using.

Next I need to define a very important term. It is known as a vertebral subluxation. A vertebral subluxation is an interference of the nervous system due to a misalignment and / or abnormal motion of spinal vertebrae which causes improper communication with associated organs, muscles and tissues of the body.
