Chiropractic care is an array of safe, non-invasive methods that utilize manual techniques to treat extremity and spinal dysfunctions. Its natural therapies restore mobility and improve overall balance, enhancing comfort, function, and movement patterns. 

When you work with a chiropractor, you get more than just services that nurture the body’s organic healing process but also improve strength, flexibility, and overall spine, soft tissue, and joint health.

Chiropractic treatment is a type of alternative medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, including the spine and the extremities, such as the shoulders, knees, feet, and hands.

Adjustments or manipulations remove restrictions and imbalances so the body can heal naturally. When dysfunctions and injuries are caught early, chiropractic’s conservative solutions can often replace surgeries and pain-masking medications.

A chiropractic wellness strategy typically involves a combination of adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and other services such as exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling.

Our Portland chiropractor uses a hands-on approach to assess and formulate an individualized care plan for the patient’s pain, injuries, and functional limitations. We don’t rely on aggressive solutions; our care aims to relieve your pain and improve mobility and function at the source so you get lasting results and the tools to keep them.

Manipulations and adjustments to the joints are gentle and safe, offering relief through natural healing. Because these solutions are non-invasive, they can be used on people of all ages, abilities, and lifestyle choices.

From the most vulnerable to the most active, chiropractic adjustments may be all you need to find lasting comfort.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of chiropractic care may vary depending on the individual and the specific condition being treated. Chiropractic care is generally considered safe, but you should consult a qualified chiropractor to determine if it is appropriate for your needs.

Chiropractic care helps the body’s structures and balance by addressing discomfort and limitations in many aspects of lifestyle and physical function, including:

• Pain severity
• Movement patterns
• Restricted mobility
• Ability to perform daily tasks and athletic endeavors
• And others

Once these aspects are determined, a chiropractic plan is created, which can offer several benefits, including:

1. Pain relief: Chiropractic adjustments can reduce pain by restoring proper movement of the joints and soft tissues.
2. Mobility improvement: Chiropractic care can help improve range of motion in the joints, making it easier to move and perform daily activities.
3. Healing: Chiropractic adjustments improve circulation, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
4. Reduced stress: Chiropractic care can help reduce stress on the body by improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and promoting relaxation.
5. Enhanced overall wellness: Chiropractic care can help improve overall health and wellness by addressing underlying neuromusculoskeletal issues.
6. Other benefits include:

• • Improved flexibility, range of motion, and movement patterns
  • Improved posture
  • Improved joint function and health
  • Muscle and soft tissue strengthening
  • Improved circulation
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Fast recovery process with little to no downtime
  • Increased energy, focus, and productivity
  • Enhanced physical performance
  • Reduced mental stress and anxiety
  • Improved sleep quality

From sports rehab to auto accidents to prenatal chiropractic care, adjustments can remove many discomforts due to spine, joint, or soft tissue imbalances.

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

The spine is an intricate structure of several bones called vertebrae stacked on each other and separated by a disc. The disc has a hard outer shell with a soft, gel-like center. When the spine’s vertebrae get restricted, or the discs rupture or move from their proper placement, you may experience mild, moderate or severe discomfort, motion loss, and may be limited in your ability to perform usual, daily tasks.

As with the spine, other joints of the body can become impaired. Chiropractic adjustments can solve these issues by reestablishing correct positioning and improving movement patterns.
