Millions of people have benefited from chiropractic care, resulting in better overall health, better mobility, and relief of pain.  The chiropractic adjustment corrects a condition known as the vertebral subluxation complex, or commonly referred to simply as a subluxation. 

 

 

A subluxation is a condition of a vertebra that has:

• lost its proper position relative to the adjacent bones
• lost its proper mobility
• caused an interference with the electrochemical transmission of the nerve

It can cause many symptoms such as pain and numbness, or even no symptoms at all (at first).

 

 

 

Detecting and correcting subluxations is the unique specialty of the Doctor of Chiropractic.  Many valid techniques exist to accomplish this task.  At Southside Chiropractic, we specialize in the use of a hand-held instrument in order to deliver the energy needed to correct subluxations.  The instrument delivers a force approximately 1000 times faster than the fastest hands, which means that much less mass (or push) is needed to move the bone. 

 

Advantages of Instrument Adjusting

Instruments are typically:

• more consistent
• more specific
• more accurate
• more gentle than forces delivered by hand

With instrument adjusting, patients enjoy a gentle corrective adjustment, without the "crack" heard during manual manipulation. It is safe and effective for patients of all ages.  This type of adjusting is ideal for nervous patients, those in severe muscle spasm, those that may not be able to relax enough for manual manipulation, or those that simply don't like the sound or feeling of being "popped" or "cracked".
