What is the primary goal of chiropractic adjustments?

The primary goal of chiropractic adjustments is to realign the spine and restore function. This approach is based on the belief that misalignments in the spine, referred to as subluxations, can interfere with the nervous system and affect the overall health of an individual. By correcting these misalignments through spinal adjustments, chiropractors aim to improve the body’s ability to heal itself, enhance joint mobility, and alleviate various conditions that may arise from nerve interference.

While providing immediate pain relief can be a result of these adjustments, it is not the fundamental aim; the primary focus is on the long-term restoration of spinal alignment and overall function. Moreover, while promoting ongoing treatments may be beneficial for some patients, it does not capture the main intent behind chiropractic care, which is more about health restoration and optimization than mere treatment perpetuation. Chiropractic care also interacts with other healthcare professionals, but this aspect serves more as a complementary role rather than the core purpose of chiropractic adjustments themselves.
