Chiropractors offer not only the adjustment but also effective modalities that help reduce the inflammation and pain. Additionally, Chiropractors are the most equipped to prevent your injury from turning into a chronic issue that can affect you for years to come.
The efficacy of Chiropractic care lies in the proximity of the musculoskeletal system (muscles and bones) to the nervous system (nerves). Your brain communicates with the rest of your body via nerves. Those nerves branch off the spinal cord and reach their destination through space call foramen. Think of a foramen as a tunnel whose walls consist of the vertebral body above and below. When there is misalignment and decreased movement in the joint, inflammation occurs and invades the foramen. This can cause irritation to the nerve that results in well known syndromes such as sciatica. Muscle spasm and trigger points are common in areas of decreased spinal mobility. Chiropractic care increases joint movement and decreases muscle spasm.
