Chiropractors offer a noninvasive and holistic approach to healthcare management by diagnosing and helping to manage a variety of musculoskeletal issues. From our Greenwood, SC, location, Dr. Matthew Atkinson of Atkinson Family Spine Care offers treatment options – including spinal adjustments or manipulations that can help relieve the cause and the symptoms of many painful conditions like sciatica, tendonitis, neck pain, whiplash, herniated discs, and more.

What are Chiropractic or Spinal Adjustments?

Spinal manipulations refer to a chiropractic technique in which a practitioner seeks to realign your musculoskeletal system, which often focuses on adjusting your spinal column.

The central tenet of chiropractic theory is that a misaligned spine (or subluxation) can create a malfunctioning nervous system, which can create mobility issues, pain, and more. Spinal adjustments help correct a misaligned spine - promoting your natural healing abilities – and optimizing your overall well-being.

A chiropractor, whose ultimate objective is to promote musculoskeletal balance, is trained to adjust or realign the spine using a sudden but controlled force. The adjustment to the spine can be done with or without a specialized chiropractic instrument. The result is a properly aligned spine, a reduction (or removal) of pain, muscle tension, swelling, and nerve pressure.
