Pain Relief

A professional Walnut Creek California chiropractor such as Dr. Curtis Haake, D.C. can provide pain relief to a variety of patients. Chiropractors like him try to correct the body’s alignment to improve function and to help the body heal too. Most of this is achieved with spinal manipulation, which is done with manual or manipulative therapies, posture exercises and exercise in general.

Pain Relief & Chiropractic Care

Spinal manipulation is any type of therapeutic movement of the spine with quick movements. A sharp cracking noise is often heard, which is a release of gases in the joint. Spinal manipulation is done by pushing on the vertebrae and should be done just one joint at a time. A professional chiropractor will position the body so that the force they exert is focused in one particular area. Spinal manipulations for pain relief can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes.

Pain in the neck and back is often caused by misalignments in the vertebrae. Even a small misalignment can cause pain in patients of all ages. If these subluxations are left untreated, they can cause muscle spasms too. Chiropractic adjustment helps to properly align the spine and relieve the pressure put on the joints and the nerves. Chiropractic care can also help treat Fibromyalgia, a condition that causes chronic pain throughout the body.
