Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a science dedicated to and based on the
human body, particularly the relationship between
skeletal and the nervous system. When balanced, these
vital systems interact to preserve and restore your
health. Chiropractic is a hands-on approach to health
and wellness, relying on the body to heal itself and
correcting any misalignments that may prevent this
healing from occurring.
Chiropractic manipulation or adjustment is designed to:
Treat mechanical restrictions (dysfunctional joints)
Increase your range of motion
Eliminate excessive strain on your muscles
Block pain impulses and increase your comfort level
Adjustments
Adjustments are the central part of chiropractic
treatment. The chiropractic adjustment is a therapeutic
manipulation that uses controlled force, leverage,
direction, amplitude, and velocity directed at specific
joints. In other words, an adjustment involves a lot
more than simply opening up a joint.
Logan Chiropractic Life Center Marietta GA 30066 will
not only perform these adjustments to the spine, but
they might adjust other joints, such as the ankle, knee,
wrist, elbow, or shoulder in order to restore structural
alignment or to improve joint function. Again, proper
structure is necessary for proper function, and proper
extremity function is an important part of healthy daily
living.
Overuse of muscles can cause your body to produce tough,
dense scar tissue. As scar tissue builds up, muscles
become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes
tendonitis and nerves can become trapped. This can cause
reduced range of motion, loss of strength and pain. If a
nerve is trapped, you may also feel tingling, numbness
and weakness.
Over-used muscles (and other soft tissues) change in
three important ways:
Acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions, trauma
injuries)
Accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
Not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia)
Each of these factors can cause your body to produce
tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar
tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move
freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter
and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and
nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range
of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is
trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and
weakness.
