Chiropractic adjustments are an important part of chiropractic treatment. Adjustments are without doubt the most recognizable therapy chiropractors perform. Dr. Leonard Fox of Georgetown Chiropractic in Wilton, CT has spent 20 plus years offering his services to residents of Ridgefield, Redding, Wilton, Weston, and, of course, Georgetown. He provides treatment for sciatica, headaches, neck and shoulder pain and tension, rotator cuff injuries, and sports injuries, in addition to many other causes of pain.
Getting spinal joints into proper alignment lets them move properly and helps the nerves function at their best. For the body to work at maximum efficiency, messages need to travel freely throughout the nervous system. This is what chiropractic adjustment is all about. Joints can get out of alignment from injury that causes trauma, or they can be the result of repetitive motion or prolonged stress from bad posture. That happens if you have to sit to earn a living, or are up and doing physical work. Whatever the reason, if local spinal joint movement or misalignment isn’t corrected, things can never work as well as they should.
Sciatica
Sciatica is an irritation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve begins in the lower back and runs through the pelvis and down the back of the legs. It may be impinged at its origin by a subluxated vertebrae. When the sciatic nerve is irritated, the pain can be severe and run down its entire length. If you prefer a drug-free solution to your pain, chiropractic adjustments can provide the relief you are seeking. Once Dr. Fox has completed an examination of your back, he will do the necessary chiropractic adjustments. After the vertebrae are back in alignment, exercise and stretching help keep them that way.
Headaches
Every year, more than 45 million Americans suffer from headaches. Many headaches begin in the neck and shoulders, including cervicogenic and tension headaches. With gentle, unhurried chiropractic adjustments, the tension can be released and, when combined with therapeutic massage, can give very positive results for sufferers. Your chiropractor will be able to feel the tension in your neck and shoulders with their hands-on approach.
Sports Injuries
Dr. Fox has been certified as a chiropractic sports physician. Professional athletes use chiropractic adjustments as treatment for many of the sports injuries that they receive, but even if you are a weekend warrior or a young athlete, chiropractic adjustments can help you to perform at your best and to recover quicker from sports injuries.
Chiropractic adjustments come in many forms and Dr. Fox will provide personalized treatment that is right for you. It can be gentle or more vigorous depending on your tolerance and the condition of your spine and bones.
