Frequently Asked Questions in Rio Rancho NM

Established in 1895, chiropractic has emerged as one of the world's top alternative health care options. Chiropractic is a science of reducing pressure on the human nervous system by removing structural interference in the form of malalignment of the spine. At Absolute Chiropractic in Rio Rancho ,New Mexico, we begin every patient relationship with a thorough evaluation of the spinal alignment, posture, and motion to determine if a patient is in the right place to reach the health care goals they have.

Nervous system interference manifests in many forms, sometimes in complicated ways. Generally, conditions such as headaches, low back pain, neck pain, foot pain, such as plantar fasciitis, and even injuries sustained from motor vehicle crashes and whiplash-related injuries are frequently treated at Absolute Chiropractic in Rio Ranch,o New Mexico.

A chiropractic adjustment is the primary method for restoring motion and neurologic integrity to an individual’s body. Adjustments are specific to the quality of the spinal mis-alignment and the loss of motion present. There are many ways to adjust a spine, from light force and instrument-based adjustments to manual adjustments (by hand) and using specialized motion tables. At Absolute Chiropractic in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, we are trained in multiple styles of adjusting to best fit everyone’s needs and preferences.

These may include temporary soreness, stiffness, or discomfort in the treated area. Rarely, more serious complications such as nerve irritation or, in extremely rare cases, stroke following certain neck manipulations have been reported.

Pops and cracks are often, but not necessarily, heard during chiropractic adjustments. The sound simply comes from internal joint fluid moving within the joint during the adjustment.

Typically, the human body prevents itself from being forcefully adjusted by oneself. It is a protective response. When someone does “pop” their own joint it generally is a weaker joint in the area of focus, not the joint with the true restriction. As a chiropractor, Dr. Robinson does not advise self-adjusting as this can cause further wear on the weak joints of the spine and it never truly gets to the core of the problem.
