Whether due to factors such as hunching over your desk for extended periods or an old injury flaring up, lower back pain is one of the most common complaints people experience. It can disrupt work, sleep, and everyday activities.
Often, the underlying cause involves spinal restrictions or pressure on the nerve system, resulting in pain, stiffness, or weakness in the legs and hips.
What Happens During a Chiropractic Adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments are designed to restore movement in areas of the spine that aren’t functioning the way they should. When the spine is out of alignment, the nervous system doesn’t operate at its best. A gentle and precise adjustment helps release tension, allowing the body to move more freely and function with greater ease.
See an Adjustment in Action
In this video, chiropractor Dr Ihaia walks through a real-life example of assessing and adjusting a practice member with lower back discomfort. You’ll see how restricted areas in the spine are identified, leg strength is tested before and after, and how an adjustment improves movement almost instantly. The change is apparent – reduced resistance, better spinal rhythm, and a smoother leg lift all within moments.
Why Chiropractic Care Makes a Difference
Chiropractic offers a natural approach that works with the body – not against it. Another benefit? There is no reliance on medications or invasive procedures; adjustments support the nervous system, boost mobility, and encourage long-term spinal health. It’s an excellent preventative choice for those looking to get back to doing what they love, without discomfort holding them back.
