What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments are a natural, non-invasive treatment that improves spinal function and relieves discomfort. By properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure—especially the spine—the body can heal itself without drugs or surgery. Chiropractors use their hands or specialized tools to manipulate specific joints, primarily in the spine, to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.

In Des Moines and Ankeny, chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat neuromusculoskeletal disorders. They focus on restoring mobility restricted by injury or repetitive stress, using hands-on adjustments and other therapies to promote healing and restore function naturally.

What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractors in Des Moines and Ankeny use various tools and techniques for adjustments, including the arthrostim, which delivers a fast, controlled thrust for precise, gentle corrections. This approach reduces discomfort and caters to patients who prefer a less manual method.

Personalized Treatment Approach

Treatment techniques are tailored to each patient’s condition, overall health, and preferences—ensuring care is customized and effective.

Enhanced Physical Performance

Regular chiropractic care improves alignment and physical efficiency, helping prevent injuries and boost performance. Athletes and active individuals often rely on chiropractic care for faster recovery and improved energy levels.

Better Posture and Alignment

Chiropractic adjustments help correct posture by aligning the spine and reducing strain. Improved posture supports long-term spinal health, decreases pain, and enhances overall confidence and body balance.

Chiropractic Neck Adjustments

Neck adjustments focus on the cervical spine to relieve tension, improve motion, and ease discomfort. Techniques vary but the goal is to relieve tension and increase mobility in the join.

Improved Mental Well-Being

By reducing physical tension and improving nervous system function, chiropractic care can decrease stress, enhance mood, and contribute to better overall mental health. The connection between spine health and emotional balance makes chiropractic care both physical and psychological therapy.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Initial Consultation

Your first visit begins with a consultation where the chiropractor reviews your health history, symptoms, and concerns. This helps build a personalized treatment plan and allows open discussion about the process.

Physical Examination and Assessment

The chiropractor will assess posture, movement, and spinal alignment, possibly using X-rays or other tools for deeper insight. This step helps identify underlying issues and guides precise treatment planning.
