Chiropractors offer many different types of treatments, both preventative and to help patients recover from pain and injuries. The primary chiropractic treatment is chiropractic adjustment. Dr. James “Billy” Wright and Dr. Tyler Wright of Wright Family Chiropractic in Cedar Park and Austin, TX, provide this non-invasive, highly versatile form of care. 

Chiropractic Adjustments for Good Health

When the spine is in alignment, the messages from the brain can get to all the areas of the body. This improves the body's ability to heal itself. However, when the spine is not in alignment, we may use adjustments to put subluxated vertebrae where they belong. Chiropractic adjustments can be performed through a variety of techniques. They can be vigorous, like the Diversified Technique, which uses high velocity, low amplitude thrusts to move the vertebrae. This method produces the popping sound that many people identify with chiropractic treatments. Gentler techniques are also available, depending on the patient’s preference and where they are in their recovery. 

Chiropractic Adjustment for Pain

When the vertebrae in your neck or the back are out of alignment, not only does every system not work as well as it should, but you may also experience pain. When the vertebrae are misaligned, they may press on the nerves that emerge from the spine. This can result in pain, weakness, and tingling along the nerve’s path. An adjustment can relieve nerve pressure, often resulting in very fast relief. 

While chiropractic adjustments of the neck and back are the most common, the extremities can also benefit from adjustments. These adjustments are performed to allow for easier movement and help prevent future injury by reducing wear and tear.

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors provide complementary treatments to reduce inflammation and promote patient relaxation.
