What to Expect During Spinal Adjustments?
If you are considering a spinal adjustment, it helps to understand how the process works and what typically happens during a visit. Care is structured, assessment-based, and adapted to your condition.
Initial Assessment:
Your visit usually begins with a clinical evaluation. This may include a review of symptoms, medical history, posture, and spinal movement to determine if an adjustment is appropriate.
Patient Positioning:
You may be asked to lie on a padded table, either face down or on your side, depending on the area being treated.
Adjustment Procedure:
A controlled, targeted force is applied to specific joints of the spine. This helps improve joint mobility and reduce mechanical restriction.
What You May Feel:
You might hear a popping sound during the adjustment. This is a normal joint response caused by gas release and is not harmful.
Duration:
Spinal adjustments are brief and typically take only a few minutes within the session.
At Elite Chiropractic Beverly Hills, care may also include soft tissue techniques, muscle release, and guided exercises when clinically appropriate, based on your individual needs.
How Do We Diagnose Spinal Misalignments?
Diagnosing spinal misalignments is crucial to developing an effective treatment plan. Here’s how Dr. Mahtaban and Dr. Gruppina identify misalignments in your spine:
Examination: The chiropractor begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination to identify misalignments.
Palpation: Areas of discomfort or restricted movement in the spine are assessed by touch.
Imaging: X-rays or other imaging techniques like MRI may be used to confirm misalignments and guide the treatment plan.
Each diagnosis helps develop a personalized plan, ensuring targeted, effective treatment for each patient’s specific needs.
