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.

A normal human body consists of approximately sixty chemicals. Every chemical in the body has a different function and regulation. For example, the element calcium helps in contraction of muscles. Potassium, on the other hand, is concerned with heart regulation. There are four chemicals specifically involved in pain management. A study shows that most chiropractors support these chemicals.

This care has also been incorporated in other therapy such as manipulative therapies, nutritional consultations, ergonomic training, and in ultrasound and laser therapies. Modern chiropractors work hand-in-hand with the mainstream doctors, pain doctors and surgeons in pain management.

Most chiropractic research has been mainly focused on spinal adjustment to relieve back pain. Other problems such as headaches, musculoskeletal pain, asthma, fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome are also being studied. A recent study showed that chiropractic manipulation on the spine also helps to relieve back and neck pain, migraine and whiplash.

Such spinal manipulation may contribute to some health complications like stroke. This is a rare incidence. Some studies in medicine suggest that this therapy is not the real cause of such complications.

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.
