Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractors believe that your body has the ability to heal itself naturally. In fact, chiropractic adjustments are based on that philosophy. Chiropractic is the third largest primary health care profession in the world (following medicine and dentistry). Chiropractors, like many other complementary health practitioners, look at the body as a whole and offer a non-invasive, non-drug, and effective alternative to some of the significant health care problems plaguing the world today.

We offer chiropractic adjustments in each of our five chiropractor clinics in Los Angeles County: Woodland Hills, Los Angeles (LAX), Lancaster, Montebello, and Duarte.

Chiropractors use their hands to adjust the joints of your spine and extremities where signs of restriction in movement are found, improving mobility and relieving pain. Your body’s own healing processes (which we normally recognize in its ability to heal bruises, cuts and broken bones) will then be able to get on with the task of improving your health. This treatment is known as a chiropractic adjustment.

By adjusting and manipulating joints, chiropractors stimulate the joint movement receptors – your body’s position sensors which provide feedback to the brain on where the joint is in space. This stimulation can affect the way your nervous system works. Depending on where the nerve irritation has occurred in your spine, your symptoms may include the following:

  • Asthma
  • Digestive problems
  • Disc injuries
  • Headache and migraine
  • Joint, posture and muscle problems
  • Menstrual/pregnancy pains
  • Sciatica
  • Spine and neck problems
  • Sports injuries
  • Tinnitus and vertigo

Chiropractors believe stress, poor posture, accidents, and sports can all stop the body machine from running smoothly. Thousands of others have achieved greater health and pain-free living through chiropractic adjustments and our goal is to help you achieve your optimum health.
