Seattle Adjusting

When your joints rapidly stretch, the experience can be quite painful if you are not receiving proper chiropractic therapy. Your Seattle chiropractor, Dr. Justin Favreau, DC, and his team of chiropractors at Align Chiropractic can help you lead a healthy and pain-free lifestyle with adjusting in Seattle. Seattle adjusting is an effective and safe way to relieve back pain.

Typically, in chiropractic adjustment, a number of processes occur in your body — muscles and ligaments stretch, blood circulation increases, and nerve fibers rapidly fire. Seattle adjusting, though, is more thorough. For a basic understanding of what happens here, it's necessary to give you an overview of neuroanatomy — the anatomy of your nerves and nervous system in general. Adjusting in Seattle is unique in that it directly stimulates the mechanoreceptors with mechanical pressure. Seattle adjusting causes your muscle spindles to be stretched.

Our patients who receive Seattle adjusting may hear a small popping or cracking sound in their back — this is completely normal. This occurs when spinal joints in your lower back are stretched out. More specifically, around your joint capsules in your back is fluid which contains small bubbles and pockets of air. The rapid shifting of air — as the joint tissue is stretched and the joint is opened — causes this popping sound during adjusting in Seattle.

Our patients find that Seattle adjusting gives them increased lower back flexibility and mobility. Though your muscles may be tight or sore immediately following adjusting in Seattle, your spinal motion will significantly improve. After Seattle adjusting, patients often return for other treatments, such as adjustments for the spine muscles.

Seattle adjusting isn’t the only form of therapy that you can get to take care of your spine. Dr. Favreau suggests doing specific exercises to help increase the strength of your back, as well as learning how to bend and lift in the proper way. In addition to these exercises, which ensure continued spinal motion, we treat patients every three months with more adjusting in Seattle, to ensure you get the most from these adjustments.

It's clear that chiropractors are important in treating and diagnosing lower back issues and other spinal problems too. Research often emerges to support the procedure of spinal adjusting in Seattle to treat subluxations. Align Chiropractic is well-acquainted with all of this information about how adjusting in Seattle can work to eradicate your chiropractic ailments.
