Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic adjustments are a treatment where a chiropractor uses his or her hands or specialized tools to manipulate the body’s joints. Chiropractic adjustments are also referred to as joint or spinal manipulation. At Sofos Chiropractic in White Plains, NY, we offer excellent chiropractic services with over twenty years of experience. Best of all, chiropractic care does not rely on pain medication or invasive procedures like surgery to produce results.

Common Chiropractic Adjustment Techniques

Chiropractic adjustments are a drug-free method used to treat various conditions by helping the body heal itself. Let’s look at several types of chiropractic adjustment techniques and the problems they treat:

The Gonstead Technique

This is a common technique used by chiropractors. The Gonstead Technique is meant specifically for spinal issues and for long-term back pain.

Spinal Mobilization

This technique is used to help patients regain and improve their joint functionality. Our chiropractor uses his hands to stretch the problematic area while applying gentle thrusts.

Direct Thrust

This is also referred to as a diversified technique and is one of the oldest and most commonly used chiropractic adjustment techniques. It restores and increases the patient’s range of motion which is caused by misaligned bones and joints.

What to Expect During a Chiropractic Adjustment

When you first meet Dr. Sofos, he will discuss your medical history and perform a thorough physical exam. Some of the tests you may receive include:

  • X-rays to analyze the internal structures
  • Computed Tomography (CT) scans to generate in-depth pictures of your body’s internal structures
  • MRI scans use magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of your body

Depending on your symptoms, test results, findings, and current condition, our chiropractor will create a treatment plan designed to provide pain relief and support the healing process. Dr. Sofos uses specialized instruments or his hands to apply a quick force to the affected joint. Other additional therapies we may recommend involve:

  • Specific exercises
  • Managing stress and relaxing the muscles
  • Tips on nutrition, diet, and weight
  • Massage therapy
