In the case of injury, irritation or normal wear and tear, joints of the spine, arms or legs may become hypomobile or feel "stuck". This can have a cascade effect and cause muscle tightness or nerve irritation. Traditional chiropractic involves using manual therapy in which the physician aims to increase the mobility of joints by applying a gentle thrust with his or her hands or various instruments. The chiropractic adjustment can help restore movement and improve function while decreasing pain and discomfort. At CRGP we may use the chiropractic adjustment alone as treatment but see the best results when paired with rehabilitative exercises.
