Is pain stopping you from doing what you want to do? We may be able to help.
You may be wondering how chiropractic can help you – often, people who have not tried chiropractic will think that it is simply about ‘back cracking.’ At North Adelaide Chiropractic, this is only one aspect of treatment.
The ‘back cracking’ comes from the ‘adjustment’ part of a chiropractic treatment. An adjustment is a quick, precise thrust into a stiff or locked joint. The adjustment frees up the joint and allows it to move back to its normal range of movement. Sometimes, the adjustment may make a ‘cracking’ noise in the joint – this is simply gas being displaced from the joint.
What’s more important is the freed movement that the adjustment provides. Evidence has shown that this can relieve pain from the joint and surrounding tissue.
Chiropractic adjustments are not only for the spine! Adjustments can be applied to stiff joints all over the body, including hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows and wrists. While these non-spinal adjustments are less likely to make a ‘cracking’ noise, it is the freed movement that the adjustment provides which is most important.
At North Adelaide Chiropractic, we also provide treatment for tight muscles. The combined treatment of joint work – with adjustments – and muscle work tends to lead to better and faster results.
Working with muscles also means that North Adelaide Chiropractic can help relieve more than just spinal pain. We treat all manner of musculoskeletal injuries and a wide range of neuromuscular conditions.
