Discover the Power of Chiropractic Adjustments: Your Path to Pain-Free Living

Are you tired of living with pain and discomfort? Chiropractic adjustments might just be the key to unlocking a healthier, more active lifestyle. At Momentum Health and Performance, we believe in the transformative power of chiropractic care. Let's dive into what chiropractic adjustments are, how they work, and the compelling evidence behind their effectiveness.

What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments involve precise, controlled forces applied to specific joints that aren't moving properly. These adjustments aim to restore normal joint motion, reduce pain, and improve overall function. Ever heard that popping sound during an adjustment? That's just gas being released from the joint, much like when you crack your knuckles.

How Do They Work?

When performed by skilled professionals, chiropractic adjustments can:

- Restore joint mobility

- Decrease muscle tension

- Improve movement patterns

- Reduce pain signals

- Enhance joint function

Common Reasons for Treatment:

- Low back pain

- Neck pain

- Headaches

- Joint restrictions

- Movement dysfunction

- Post-injury care

What to Expect During a Session:

1. Assessment of Joint Movement: We start by understanding how your joints are moving.

2. Specific Positioning for the Adjustment: We position you for optimal results.

3. Quick, Precise Force Application: The adjustment is swift and targeted.

4. Post-Adjustment Movement Check: We ensure everything is aligned and moving well.

5. Instructions for Activities/Exercises: We guide you on exercises to support your recovery.

The Evidence Behind Adjustments

Research consistently shows the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments. Here's what the current evidence reveals:

Clinical Research Findings:

- Low Back Pain: Systematic reviews highlight effectiveness similar to other recommended therapies. The 2017 JAMA review found significant improvements in both pain and function, with the best results seen in acute and subacute conditions.

- Neck Pain & Headaches: Research demonstrates effectiveness for mechanical neck pain, with strong evidence for cervicogenic headaches and moderate evidence for tension-type headaches. Enhanced outcomes are seen when combined with exercise.
