Suncoast Spine and Injury Center, Clearwater

Chiropractic adjustment is the foundation of chiropractic care. The doctor will check the spine for areas that are not moving correctly. An adjustment will be performed to allow for movement of that spinal segment, decreasing inflammation and taking irritation off those joints and the nervous system. This allows for proper function and healing of the patient because the spine can move like it was designed, and the nervous system can better send and receive messages from the brain to the rest of the body. Chiropractic adjustments are safe for every age, from infants to the elderly, and are used to help patients heal better and to function at their highest potential.

Chiropractors are well known for using adjustments to help relieve pain, but chiropractic can also be used to help promote wellness of the body through the use of adjustments nutrition and stretching/exercises.

When people think about “wellness care” they often think about having a checkup with their doctor. But wellness care with chiropractic is much more proactive. The wellness phase of care is the long-term plan to help maintain the health and longevity of the spine and is the most important phase of care for every patient. Chiropractic Wellness Care focuses on keeping your body functioning properly, and allowing the innate healing properties of your body to function as they are supposed to. Chiropractic wellness care checks to make sure your spine is properly aligned, gently corrects any subluxation (misalignment) before you even begin to feel any pain.

Patients get adjusted at regular intervals to prevent re-injury, pain, and immobility. The doctor takes care of the normal wear and tear of everyday life before it turns into pain. Because the chiropractic adjustment is meant to help improve the function of the spine, nervous system, and ultimately the body, the patient does not have to be in pain to utilize care. Just like regular maintenance on your car, regular adjustments help the body last as long as possible. 

That is the goal with chiropractic wellness care. Catch and correct any issue before it becomes a problem. Keep your central nervous system in top shape, which will keep you healthier.
