Hey,
Doctor Ryan Alter
your Delray Beach chiropractor. Today
I want to go over exactly what happens
actually the mechanics and what’s
what’s
what’s actually happening
when the chiropractor makes an adjustment. So we’ve got our model spine here. This is going to act as the patient. So when the patient is lying down on the table
the chiropractor comes in
and makes these adjustments.
And what’s actually happening? Well
I’m going to show it to you
and I’m going to explain it to you. So here we have kind of a zoomed in version of your spine
and some vertebrae. This is a bone
the vertebrae
this is your disc. And here’s the nerve that comes out between the vertebrae. And what can happen is these vertebrae start to wedge
wedge
wedge
wedge
wedge back
and start to pinch that nerve.
That’s what causes most of the symptoms. And the chiropractor’s job is to find out where that’s happening and then with our adjustments
tap
tap
tap
tap. And we’re working
working
working this vertebrae forward as far as we can To open that nerve hole and take pressure off that pinched nerve. That’s what the chiropractic adjustment does.
That’s what’s actually happening when we apply that force. You can see how this is very different than a lot of the other things people do for back pain. Massage doesn’t do that. Acupuncture doesn’t do that. Needle injections don’t move the vertebrae forward. The key is moving the vertebrae forward
and getting pressure off that nerve so the patient can get better.
We’re here in Delray Beach. We want to be a resource for you
and anybody you know. Our goal and our mission is to make sure that everyone in this area is feeling their best.
