Why Do I Need an Adjustment?

First lets start with what an adjustment does....

Adjustments move the bones that have been misaligned and pressing on the nerves back into position. Chiropractic adjustments can help remove pain in injuries like sciatica, neck pain, low back pain and headaches. Using gentle, low impact techniques Dr. Ressler, chiropractor in Oviedo, FL  is able to restore the joint back to normal position and remove pain. Dr. Ressler is also able to help injuries to knees, shoulders and ankles. 


What causes neck and back pain?


The discs between spinal bones can be a source of back pain. These rings of fibrous tissues act as spacers, connectors and “shock absorbers” for the spine. Trauma can cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge or herniated, putting pressure on delicate nearby nerves. When nerves become ‘pinched’, injury, spasm and inflammation of the surrounding muscles causes the nerve to become compressed, resulting in pain. The term “pinched nerve” is somewhat of a catch-all phrase that is commonly used to describe the pain associated with a variety of conditions from subluxations, to tunnel syndromes to the referred pain from trigger points. Most of the time, what is called a pinched nerve is actually an irritated, or inflamed nerve where the nerve itself is not actually pinched. In most cases, nerves become irritated and inflamed when the bones, joints or muscles of the spine are not in their proper position, or are not moving properly. Sciatica is one form of back pain; it is most commonly a result of a misaligned lower spine and occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, irritated or inflamed. It is usually associated with pain, numbness and muscle weakness in the hip, buttock, leg calf and foot. Sublaxations can apply a good deal of pressure on the sciatic nerve and cause severe pain. A slipped or herniated disc is also a cause of sciatica and is usually a result of trauma from a fall or accident. Many times people with back pain will wait until the pain becomes unbearable before they contact a chiropractor, this can cause long-term damage. Dr. Ressler has been serving the Oviedo and Winter springs, FL area for over 15 years he has a Flexion Distraction Table which is designed to treat injuries to the disc and can also prevent surgery. 

Why Should I get an Adjustment?

Because all bodily functions are connected; a healthy nervous system is key to a properly functioning body. When a vertebrae is out of alignment it can irritate a nerve causing pain, muscle spasms/tightness and swelling or a joint that does not move properly. Dr. Ressler, chiropractor in Oviedo, FL uses a special tool called an “Activator” which corrects misalignment of the exact vertebrae out of place. He can prescribe stretches or an exercise routine specifically tailored to your condition. Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to treat pain and multiple conditions.  Some offices require a yearlong contract; Dr. Ressler evaluates each patient to determine a customized plan that fits your particular injuries.
