With a personal history of recovering from sports injuries, Dr. Garry A. Warner brings a detailed understanding of the conditions that affect athletes and other active people. One of the most effective treatments we offer at Back Country Chiropractic and Hyperbaric Center in Lakewood, Colorado is the chiropractic adjustment, a core part of chiropractic care.

What are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments are manipulations performed by a licensed chiropractor to restore proper alignment to the spine and other joints. During an adjustment, Dr. Warner applies controlled force using his hands. This technique aims to correct misalignments, known as subluxations, which can interfere with the body’s natural ability to heal and function optimally.

The primary goal of chiropractic adjustments is to improve spinal alignment, which can improve nerve function and the distribution of pressure in the spinal joints. By restoring proper alignment, adjustments can alleviate pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and promote better circulation. Many patients report feeling immediate relief following an adjustment, as well as improved mobility.

Conditions Treated with Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments are used at Back Country Chiropractic and Hyperbaric Center in Lakewood, Colorado, to treat conditions affecting the balance of the neuromusculoskeletal system. One of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care is for back pain, which can result from poor posture, tightness in soft tissues, or acute injuries, among other things. Adjustments can help alleviate pain and restore biomechanical function to the spine, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater ease.

In addition to back pain, chiropractic adjustments are effective for treating neck pain and common kinds of headaches. Misalignments in the cervical spine can contribute to tension in the neck and head, and adjustments can help relieve these symptoms. Athletes often benefit from chiropractic adjustments as well, as they can be used to treat sports-related injuries and improve movement efficiency.

Chiropractic adjustments can also be helpful for managing chronic conditions such as spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, and degenerative disc disease.
