Many people might need to know what chiropractic means and how it can help improve your overall well-being and physical health.
According to WHO: Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Common misconceptions that many tend to believe are that chiropractors are “bone doctors only” and should see a chiropractor when they have a “bone issue”. This is far from the truth.
In reality, anyone with a spine, muscles and a nervous system can benefit from chiropractic care. Chiropractors are musculoskeletal doctors. That means they specialize in anything related to the body’s soft tissues, nerves, bones and joints.
Have you ever felt “off balance” or felt like one side of your body is not as good as the other side feels? Do you have vague pains that come and go, and can’t “stretch it out” no matter how hard you try? Do you experience recurrent low back pain, and don’t understand why it keeps returning?

What to Expect in a Chiropractic Treatment Session?
Whether you’re seeking relief from back pain, improving your posture, or enhancing your overall well-being, understanding how chiropractic adjustment helps your well-being (what’s done in chiro adjustment sessions) will help you make an informed decision.
Different chiropractors may have their unique treatment approaches; However, there are some common steps every chiropractor will take during the chiropractic adjustment session as follows:
The chiropractor will gather essential information about your lifestyle, medical history, and current symptoms and offer effective treatment accordingly.
In this step, the chiropractor may need to perform some physical tests, including assessment of your posture, range of motion, muscle strength, etc.
The chiropractor may also use diagnostic tools such as X-rays or MRI scans to gain further insights into your condition.
According to the thorough examination performed by the chiropractor, a unique treatment is offered. This may include a series of chiropractic adjustments, complementary therapies, lifestyle recommendations, and exercises to support your overall well-being.
This is where the chiropractor applies controlled force to specific areas of your spine or joints using their hands or specialized instruments.
The goal is to correct misalignments, restore joint function, and alleviate pain or discomfort. You may hear a cracking or popping sound during the adjustment, simply releasing gas bubbles in the joints.
Following the adjustment, your chiropractor may provide post-adjustment care instructions.
These instructions typically involve recommendations for posture, stretching exercises, ergonomic modifications, and lifestyle adjustments to maximize the benefits of the adjustment.
