Spinal Adjustment

-Chiropractic: This is a system of therapy in which disease is considered the result of abnormal function of the nervous system. The method of treatment usually involves manipulation of the spinal column and other body structures.

My Experience: I first considered going to a Chiropractor because I have always had poor posture and believe that when your structural body is out of alignment that you create blockages which can lead to health issues or limit your body’s own natural healing process.

The first thing that happened when I saw the Chiropractor was for him to evaluate my spine. Today, they use high tech equipment to do a reading of the actual structure of the spine, the autonomic nervous system and muscle tension around the spine all to create an overall health assessment of your alignment and to determine if a spinal adjustment is needed. It is quite amazing. Once the reading is completed the Chiropractor then determines how many adjustments per week you need and if you need some sort of physical therapy with the adjustments. My Chiropractor suggested that I come in twice a week for adjustments.

In my case, I did not seek a Chiropractor’s help for back pain, I went in to hopefully align my spine and eliminate any blockages to my healing process. The adjustments took all of 30 seconds and were not painful. Matter of fact they felt pretty good. But overall I have to say that I started having back pain after the treatment began. So after going for about 3 months I decided to stop and see how my back felt and if in fact the back pain related to the adjustments.

Would I do it again? I am not sure. I ended up having back pain from the adjustments. I couldn’t tell you if it was the doctor, the technique or the actual adjustments.
