Chiropractic Adjustments
What exactly are chiropractic adjustments?
Chiropractic adjustments are a core part of what we do here at Modern Health Chiropractic in Farmington, UT. Think of them as a way to help your body function at its best. When your spine and other joints aren’t moving quite right, we call that a “fixation.” This can happen for all sorts of reasons – from the stress of daily life, to injuries, or even just the way you sit at your desk. These fixations can interfere with how your brain communicates with the rest of your body. Our chiropractors use their hands or a gentle instrument called an Arthrostim to carefully restore proper movement to these stuck areas. It’s about decreasing that interference so your body can heal itself and feel better. We work with adults and children alike, focusing on promoting overall health and wellness, not just fixing immediate pain. If you’re curious about how this works, you can learn more about our approach on our About Us page. Our goal is to help you feel your best.
How do adjustments help with pain and wellness?
Chiropractic adjustments are incredibly effective for both relieving pain and enhancing overall wellness. When vertebrae become fixated, often due to tight muscles from physical, chemical, or emotional stress that the body struggles to adapt to, it disrupts the natural flow of nerve signals between your brain and your body. This disruption can manifest as pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and a general feeling of being “off.” By gently correcting these fixations, chiropractic adjustments help to remove that interference. This allows your nervous system to communicate more effectively, which in turn helps your body to heal more efficiently and function more optimally. For many, this means a significant reduction in back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other discomforts. Beyond pain relief, regular adjustments can contribute to better sleep, improved energy levels, and a stronger immune system, supporting your long-term health goals. We believe in a holistic approach to health, which you can explore further on our Home page.

What’s the deal with the Arthrostim instrument?
We understand that some people might feel a little apprehensive about chiropractic care. That’s why we’re pleased to offer adjustments using the Arthrostim instrument, in addition to traditional manual adjustments. The Arthrostim is a handheld device that delivers a very precise and gentle percussive thrust to the targeted area. It’s designed to be incredibly comfortable, making it an excellent option for individuals who may be sensitive, have acute pain, or are new to chiropractic care. It’s particularly useful for addressing muscle reactivation, a service we also provide. By using this instrument, we can effectively stimulate the muscles and joints to restore proper function and movement without the need for a forceful adjustment. This allows us to address fixations and promote healing in a way that is both effective and exceptionally gentle. It’s just another way we ensure our care is tailored to your comfort and needs. You can see some examples of our work in our Gallery.
Who can benefit from chiropractic adjustments?
The great news is that chiropractic adjustments can benefit a wide range of people, from infants to seniors. We frequently work with both adults and children to promote health and wellness. For adults, adjustments can help manage chronic pain, alleviate headaches, improve posture, and increase overall physical performance, whether you’re an athlete or just trying to keep up with daily life. For children, adjustments can be beneficial in addressing issues related to birth trauma, falls, and the physical stresses of growing and participating in sports. It’s about ensuring their developing bodies have the best possible foundation for health. We also help individuals recovering from injuries, those experiencing the effects of stress, and anyone looking to optimize their body’s natural healing capabilities. If you’re experiencing discomfort or simply want to maintain your health, chiropractic care may be a good fit for you. We encourage you to read what others have said in our Reviews section.
