What a Chiropractic Extraspinal Adjustment Does

Chiropractors treat problems other than the spine. Shoulder, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, rib, and foot can also treated. All of these areas of the body contain moveable joints, which means they are susceptible to injury, restriction, and pain. Chiropractors restore proper movement and function to these joints. This allows your body to heal the involved area of your body.

Your body has an amazing ability to heal. At times, this ability is blocked. Chiropractors remove this barrier so your body can continue the process of healing. Many origins of the blockages are listed below:

  1. Injury – tearing of tissues of the body such as muscle, ligament, tendon and/or fascia (connective tissue)
  2. Body posture – forward leaning leading to shoulder or hip problems. The top half of your body leaning forward will eventually lead to stress on the shoulders, hips, knees, and feet.
  3. Repetitive Motion Injury – using your body in a faulty way over a long period of time. Sitting at a desk in a stressful position. If you are not set up at your workstation correctly your shoulders, wrists, and your entire spine will eventually stressed causing pain.

Chiropractors look for the origin of the problem & correct it. Also, they educate their patients on what to do to prevent the same issue in the future.
