What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that emphasizes the body’s inherent ability to heal itself without drugs or surgery. It focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system), and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. Chiropractic does not replace conventional medicine – it offers a first-line solution to many common problems without resorting to drugs or surgery.

How Chiropractic Treatment Works

Chiropractic adjustments work by stimulating the joints in and around the spine, which in turn influence the spinal nerve roots, spinal cord, and ultimately your brain. The bones of your spine protect the spinal nerve roots and spinal cord; when the spinal column is not in its proper position, problems can follow. By restoring proper alignment, adjustments help reduce stress on the nervous system and free up energy trapped within the spinal column.

Your body has an amazing, innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions – our job is to help create those conditions. Because your nervous system controls every cell and organ in your body, our Austin chiropractors focus their attention on keeping your spine properly aligned.

Why Get Chiropractic Adjustments?

When people search for an Austin chiropractor, they’re typically in pain. Common causes include:

• Vertebral misalignments from microtraumas (falls, poor posture, sitting all day, sprain/strain injuries)
• Global misalignment of the spine
• Joint swelling from damage to one or more joints
• Inflammation from poor diet, emotional or physical stress, or injury
• Osteoporosis or advanced joint degeneration
• Trigger points in tight muscles that pull vertebrae out of position

Honestly, the majority of people have pain due to poor posture and the unnatural habits of modern life – sitting at a computer all day, looking down at our phones, failing to stretch or strengthen, or simply being dehydrated. This “hunched over” lifestyle contributes to forward head posture, and studies show poor posture impacts the body on every level, from hormone production to brain function.

Are Chiropractors Real Doctors?

Chiropractors do not hold medical degrees, so they are not medical doctors – but they are most definitely doctors. Becoming a chiropractor requires at least eight years of training and education, plus several national board exams and state licensing exams. In many cases chiropractors have as much training as other doctors, and even more when it comes to musculoskeletal health, including pathology, laboratory diagnostics, and imaging.

How to Find a Good Chiropractor

The best way to find a chiropractor is a referral from someone you trust, or a search through a reputable chiropractic organization such as the American Chiropractic Association. A written referral is usually not needed – chiropractic care is included in most health insurance plans. And one of the best ways to find a great chiropractor is to read Google Reviews.
