Benefits of a Chiropractic Adjustment

Video Transcript

"Okay, so we talked about the adjustment. What does the adjustment do? The adjustment, like we said, it actually corrects the position of the bone because of subluxation is a joint that's not in the right spot, but it's not so far out that it's dislocated but it's also not moving right. The adjustment corrects the motion, it corrects the position. In doing this, what it allows the body to do is it allow the swelling that's around the joints to decrease. In doing that, you allow these nerves again like we talked about before. These nerves that go to everywhere in the body to start working right. That allows the muscles spasms to go down, decreases the pain because you're getting rid of the inflammation. The most important thing about it is the change in the nerve flow. Once the nerves can start working like they're supposed to, then the brain, which sends signals to everywhere in the body can start sending appropriate signal because the feedback it's getting from the body is accurate again. When we see things like that, whenever we make these adjustments and give the body the chance to heal, we see all kinds of things happen. For instance, I have a patient, a 57-year-old woman who has had allergies since she was a teenager. This year she's been seeing me since November. She's been seeing me for about 8 months now and she didn't have any allergies this year, none at all. She also is no longer on her diabetes medication. So we see all kinds of things that change whenever you get the proper nerve flow going again based off of the adjustment, the proper chiropractic adjustment. Now, like we talked about, all kinds of things can happen I just want to stress the importance of the adjustment letting the nerves start working like they're supposed to. As you can see behind me, these nerves go to every organ an tissue in the entire body. Now, a lot of people ask well is it painful. Usually, no. Usually, the adjustments actually feel good. There are some occasions, because like we said, there's inflammation around the joint, there's swelling around the joint. Anytime something's swollen, it becomes sore. Sometimes it's a little bit painful, but it rarely hurts. Usually after regular chiropractic care if you get adjusted a few times the swelling goes down and it actually feels good."
