If you’re suffering from pain and discomfort, the team at VitaSource Chiropractic & Rehabilitation provides effective gentle spine adjustments to patients in Northeast Philadelphia and Elkins Park, PA.
Importance of Spinal Adjustments and Manipulation
The body goes through many things every single day that have the potential to impact the alignment of the spine. While injuries are a common issue, even repetitive movements such as lifting at work, sitting for long periods of time, improper posture, poor sleep positions, and simple falls can cause problems.
Spinal misalignment can lead to a great deal of pain and suffering. It can cause headaches, back pain, nerve compression, muscular tension, and more. And each type of pain and discomfort can make it difficult or nearly impossible to move, walk, carry out daily tasks, and even sleep.
When a misalignment occurs, spinal adjustments and manipulation are required to put the spine back in its proper position. This is the most effective way to achieve long-lasting pain relief as it does more than address the symptoms. It gets to the root cause.
Unfortunately, there are many people who avoid visits to the chiropractor. The idea of being “popped” and “cracked” is intimidating, and it may lead to anxiety that prevents them from ever scheduling an appointment. When this is the case, gentle spine adjustments in Northeast Philadelphia and Elkins Park, PA are a great solution.
What Are Gentle Spine Adjustments?
Gentle spine adjustments at VitaSource Chiropractic & Rehabilitation can provide the same pain relief and restoration of joint function that traditional chiropractic provides. The difference is in how the process is done.
Traditional chiropractors usually deliver adjustments and manipulation with high-velocity movements. Gentle chiropractors deliver results with slower, low-velocity movements. It occurs with little force, and no sudden movements or unexpected twisting.
Anyone experiencing back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, or arthritis can benefit from gentle chiropractic care, but there are some people that might find it especially advantageous. These include the following:
- New chiropractic patients, as this can help you ease into traditional adjustments, if you choose
- Patients that avoid making an appointment due to discomfort with traditional adjustments
- Those that have trouble relaxing, as tensing up during adjustments can hamper results
- People who have experienced an injury, as the body might still be too sore for forceful movements
