Reclaim Your Comfort: Expert Cervical Adjustments

Cervical adjustments are a versatile treatment that can provide relief for a variety of conditions stemming from neck issues, including neck pain and stiffness, headaches (such as tension headaches and cervicogenic migraines), radiating pain into the shoulders and arms, dizziness, and even some forms of upper back pain related to cervical misalignments.

The number of adjustments needed varies greatly depending on the individual, the chronicity and severity of their condition, and their overall health goals. Some patients experience significant relief after just a few sessions, while others with more long-standing or complex issues may require a more extended course of care. We'll develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs during your initial evaluation.

Generally, cervical adjustments are gentle and well-tolerated. You might feel brief pressure or movement during the adjustment. While some patients report mild, temporary soreness afterward, similar to what you might experience after exercise, it typically resolves quickly. We prioritize your comfort throughout the process and will communicate with you to ensure you feel at ease.

Some individuals experience immediate relief in terms of reduced pain and improved mobility following a cervical adjustment. However, for others, the benefits may be more gradual as the body adjusts and inflammation decreases. It's important to remember that corrective care aims for long-term improvement, so consistent adherence to your treatment plan is key.

Cervical adjustments are considered a safe procedure when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. Serious adverse events are rare. We conduct a thorough health history and examination to identify any potential risk factors before proceeding with treatment. We will always discuss any concerns you may have.

Our policy on X-rays is based on a comprehensive assessment of your individual case. We take into account your medical history, the nature of your symptoms, and the findings of our physical examination. X-rays may be recommended if we suspect underlying structural issues or to rule out certain conditions. We prioritize providing the most appropriate and safe care for you.

Following your first cervical adjustment, you may experience a sense of relief, improved mobility, or a reduction in pain. Some individuals may also feel mild, temporary soreness or stiffness as their body adapts to the changes. We will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, such as gentle stretches or ice/heat application, to help manage any post-adjustment sensations.

Postural correction therapy and cervical adjustments work synergistically to address neck pain. Adjustments focus on restoring proper alignment and movement to the cervical spine, while postural correction therapy aims to retrain the muscles and soft tissues that support the neck. By addressing both the structural imbalances and the habitual postural patterns, we can achieve more lasting relief and prevent future issues.

Cervical adjustments can be safe and beneficial for various populations, including seniors and pregnant women. Chiropractors are trained to modify their techniques to accommodate the specific needs and conditions of these groups. For seniors, gentler adjustments may be utilized, and for pregnant women, special tables and techniques are employed to ensure comfort and safety. We will always tailor our approach to your individual circumstances.

The best way to determine if a cervical adjustment is the right solution for your neck pain is to schedule a comprehensive evaluation at Elite Wellness Chiropractic in Bee Cave. During this consultation, we will thoroughly assess your condition, discuss your symptoms and health history, and perform a physical examination to determine the underlying causes of your neck pain and recommend the most appropriate course of care for you.
