Start Preventing Injuries Today with Chiropractic Adjustments
Whether you sleep wrong, lift something too heavy or just simply perform a work-related activity, injuries can occur anywhere and at any point in time. These small injuries build up over time and can become major problems. For instance, a common injury that occurs in the workplace is called “carpal tunnel syndrome.” Carpal tunnel is caused when the trans carpal ligament overstretches and puts excess pressure the median nerve. Typing, sewing, driving, painting, writing, and playing sports can cause or exacerbate carpal tunnel. Symptoms of carpal tunnel are hand weakness, pain as well as numbness and tingling that radiates up the arm.

Sometimes you might become injured due to repetitive motion or accumulated trauma over time. Sitting at a desk the wrong way for ten years is like a car accident. The only difference is micro trauma over a longer period of time finally accumulates to be a significant problem. Spinal/joint misalignments make it harder to perform daily activities, limit range of motion and create poor flexibility. This creates poor body mechanics lead to improper posture and balance issues which increase your risk of slipping or falling.
Some common problems include:
Pain
Inflammation
Numbness and tingling in arms and/or legs
Immobility
Limited range of motion
Poor flexibility
Balance issues
Improper posture
The safest way to get your body back into alignment is with spinal manipulation or a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments return flexibility and range of motion keeping your joints and tissues limber. This enables you to move easily and freely avoiding toppling over and improving balance so a slip or fall can easily be prevented.
If you live in the Oviedo, Winter Springs, or Orlando community there are many Oviedo chiropractors to choose from. Each chiropractor in Oviedo, FL uses their own technique. You will find that most Oviedo chiropractors offer a manual adjusting chiropractic technique. Manual adjustments involve correcting spinal/joint misalignments forcefully often by twisting or cracking.
Dr. Ressler is a chiropractor in Oviedo that uses a chiropractic technique called the “activator method.” Unlike a manual adjustment, the activator technique is gentle and more precise. The activator technique uses a specialized spring-loaded instrument that only moves the specific misaligned joint. By delivering a soft impulse only to misaligned vertebrae, it corrects spinal misalignments without excessive force. The activator instrument is also designed to adjust the extremities (shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, etc.) Manual adjustments on the other hand typically move multiple joints all at once. Because of Dr. Ressler’s innovative chiropractic technique, most Oviedo Injury and Wellness Center patients get immediate pain relief and improved mobility after only one adjustment!
