People in the chiropractic field believe that an individual body structure greatly affects the function of his body parts. An efficient chiropractor Las Vegas practitioner will focus on altering the alignment of some body parts to counter the pain and improve function.

The body of a normal human being consists of around 60 chemicals. Each individual chemical has a specific function and is regulated differently. While calcium controls muscle contraction, potassium is solely involved in regulation of the heart. Pain management is aided by four chemicals. Most chiropractors support this fact.

While chiropractic usually involves spinal adjustments, chiropractic care has now incorporated various other therapies such as manipulative therapies, ergonomic training, nutritional consultation and to an extent, both laser and ultrasound therapies. To add on, the modern chiropractors are working in collaboration with mainstream doctors, surgeons and pain doctors to care for patients in pain.

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.

Serious health complications that include stoke have been reported after manipulation of the spine. This is a very rare consequence and some medical studies have suggested these complications may not be as a result of this therapy.

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.

Such kind of manipulation should not be carried out on two joints at the same time. The techniques require correct positioning of the client. The force applied extends to one joint. At this time, the other spinal parts are held constant. Such therapy can be completed in 10 to 20 minutes. The therapist may ask you to attend the sessions two to three times a week.
