By Malinda Klosterman


Chiropractic is a system of health care that is of the belief that a body structure, especially the spine, has an effect on the functioning of each part of the body. A chiropractor Las Vegas will try to alter the alignment of a human body in an effort to try relieving the pain and help improve the functionality of a body so that it can heal by itself.

The human body contains an approximate 60 different chemicals. Each of these chemicals is responsible for different functions and regulations. For example, calcium helps in muscle contraction while potassium regulates the heartbeat. Four chemicals are also associated with pain management, and a published study indicates that chiropractic supports almost all the four chemicals.

This care has also been included in other therapy. These include nutritional consultations, manipulative therapies, ergonomic training and in therapies utilizing laser and ultrasound. Modern chiropractors team up with mainstream doctors, surgeons and pain doctors in pain alleviation.

Most of the researches in this field have put emphasis on manipulation of the spine to alleviate pain in the back. They are also studying other problems such as headaches, asthma, musculoskeletal pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and fibromyalgia. Recent studies have a proof that manipulation of the spine is effective in relieving neck and back pain, whiplash and migraine.

Such spinal manipulation may contribute to some health complications like stroke. This is a rare incidence. Some studies in medicine suggest that this therapy is not the real cause of such complications.

Spinal adjustment is carried out by application of strong and quick pressure to the vertebral joints. Such pressure will twist joints to beyond normal. There is generation of a cracking sound. This sound could be as a result of vacuum breakage or the release of bubbles.

This type of manipulation ought to be done one vertebra at a time. You will accomplish this by proper body positioning. The force will extend on one joint. The other parts of the spine will be held intact. This therapy will last at ten to twenty minutes. They should be done two times or three times in a week.
