Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Patients that are new to chiropractic care may feel nervous or even scared to get an adjustment. They are afraid of being in pain afterwards. Because of Dr. Ressler’s no twisting or cracking type techniques, this is rarely the case. If you have been involved in an auto accident such as whiplash or had a problem for years, affects what you might feel after your first adjustment. This is due the inflammation in the injured body region. Your muscles have gotten used to supporting poor posture over time and are now being returned to normal alignment with the adjustments. The ligaments and muscle have been injured or weakened, which causes the joint to move out of alignment and experience pain. Beginning care involves slowly putting the joint back into alignment over time so there is no discomfort. Patient may hold the adjustment (putting the joint back into normal position) for a couple of hours or days depending on the amount of damage the soft tissue has experienced. This is why you may feel a sensation like working out after the first or second treatment. If you are not used to being adjusted, you might experience slight soreness that usually lasts for a few hours. In fact, most patients tend to feel more relaxed (reduction in spasms or muscle guarding), have improved mobility and immediate pain relief. Chiropractic adjustments restore the alignment of your spine and allow your joints to have full range of motion. Adjustments are a simple, effective and are pain free.
Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor uses gentle and effective chiropractic techniques to align your spine and muscles into a proper position. Auto accident injuries, sciatica, carpal tunnel, headaches, numbness and tingling in the arms or legs, neck and low back pain are just a few conditions that can be treated with chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo’s chiropractor, uses an adjusting instrument called an “activator”. The activator is a spring-loaded device that adjusts each joint individually, making it more precise than a manual adjustment. Because Dr. Ressler is using the activator technique you do not hear the “popping or cracking” sound that is commonly associated with manual chiropractic adjustments. His technique is highly effective and minimizes the potential soreness related to returning the joint back to proper position over time.
Dr. Ressler also uses a special table called a “Flexion distraction table.” The flexion distraction table is designed to treat disc injuries and prevent surgery. It utilizes traction of the bone/vertebral segments to decompress the cervical and lumbar discs. This design allows Dr. Ressler to adjust your low back without any painful cracking or twisting.
