Chiropractic Adjustments

The term "adjustment" refers to the specific force chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. The objective of the chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxation, which results in an increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritability, optimal flexibility, and improved nervous system function.

The adjustments made by Drs. Bertha and Matthew Kremer consist of a gentle, short lever arm thrust applied to specific vertebra, which is often accompanied by an audible release of gas (joint cavitation). The audible sound is caused by the release of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, which releases joint pressure (cavitation). The sensation is usually relieving, though minor discomfort has been reported (that usually lasts for only a short time duration) if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the patient tenses up during the adjustment.

There are times when joint cavitation or cracking does not occur and this is often due to either significant muscle splinting or the patient may not be adequately relaxed during the chiropractic procedure.

What many people don't know is that you don't have to be injured to benefit from chiropractic care. By being adjusted regularly with chiropractic care you can help prevent injury. Some other possible benefits of consistent chiropractic care are: optimal nerve output for optimal physical performance, improved posture, decreased stiffness, increased mobility, energy, strength, circulation, and immune function just to name a few.
