Why Focus On Adjusting the Spine

Welcome. Dr. Ryan Alter, your Delray beach chiropractor. Why do chiropractors focus on adjusting the spine? Well out spine is made up of 24 movable bones called vertebrae. and everything we’ve done, slips falls bends twists, long car rides, sports injuries, work injuries, even car crashes, can and will cause these small vertebrae to shift. And when it happens, it puts pressure on nerves. And what can that lead to? well it can lead to pain, but it can also lead to numbness, tingling, weakness. tightness and stiffness, headaches, or number of other named symptoms. and my job, the chiropractors job, is to find out which vertebrae are causing the problem, and make adjustments to those vertebrae, and get the pressure up and off those nerves. and we do that all without the use of drugs, needle injections, or surgery.
