Chiropractic Adjustments
TLDR - Your body is a superhighway of electrons and information flowing throughout your body. When there is a structural roadblock, it can impair this flow, leading to a danger response and impaired healing process.

Misalignment
A spinal misalignment can be a constant source of stress or danger response for the body. This misalignment signals to the brain that there is an issue, triggering a chronic fight or flight response. When the body is in this heightened state of alert, it becomes difficult for healing processes to occur effectively. Over time, this can lead to a variety of health problems, including chronic pain, decreased immune function, and impaired overall health.
How Adjustments Heals
Chiropractic adjustments help to correct these misalignments, restoring proper alignment and allowing the nervous system to function optimally. By doing so, they reduce any alignment stressors and enable the body to heal naturally. Regular chiropractic care can enhance the body's ability to repair itself, leading to improved health.
Symptom Targeted vs Root Cause Targeted Chiropractic Care
It's important to note that not all chiropractic care is the same. Some chiropractors focus on targeting symptoms, providing relief that often requires frequent return visits. This approach, while beneficial for immediate pain relief, does not address the underlying cause of the problem.
On the other hand, chiropractors who target the root cause of misalignments aim to correct the underlying issues. This approach leads to longer lasting results and reduces the need for frequent adjustments. By addressing the root cause, these chiropractors help patients achieve better long term health and stability. Note that many of the chiropractors that treat the root cause may not take commercial insurance. This is a problem of the centralized sick care system and what insurance will and will not cover.
Preventative Care
Theoretically, you can be preventative about your bodily structure by focusing on proper posture and functional patterns movement as part of your lifestyle. Engaging in activities that promote good posture, such as ergonomic work setups, regular exercise, and mindfulness of body mechanics, can significantly reduce the need for frequent chiropractic adjustments.
Prevention is always best, but structural misalignment isn't always avoidable. Stress, poor posture, and minor injuries are common issues. While some can be resolved through myofascial release and functional pattern movements, many instances still require a chiropractor's expertise for effective correction. Scheduling periodic check ins is also beneficial.
