Lee’s Summit Chiropractic
The common notion is that you need to see a chiropractor for an adjustment when you have neck or back pain. While these are certainly common complaints, your Raintree chiropractor may also be able to help alleviate the symptoms of many other common health issues, such as:
Headaches and vertigo- Sciatica, pulled muscles and pinched nerves
- Scoliosis
- Fibromyalgia
- Bulging and herniated discs
- Stress and insomnia
- Carpal Tunnel syndrome
- Foot pain and numbness
- Knee and joint pain and arthritis
- Sports injuries and whiplash
The chiropractors at Raintree Medical and Chiropractic Center seek to get to the root cause of your problem and use chiropractic care to help your body heal itself naturally. While we believe that drugs and surgery have their place in certain circumstances, we also believe that in many cases a combination of a healthy lifestyle, therapeutic exercises and prescribed chiropractic treatments can correct a host of common disorders in the body and prevent future problems.
Depending on your condition, you may only need to see our chiropractors a few times, and in many cases we can perform certain treatments in the office and also send you home with prescribed therapeutic exercises and advice for lifestyle changes that can help you heal even faster, needing our professional care only on an as-needed basis.

What Are Adjustments?
Adjustments, or manipulation as they’re sometimes referred to, are the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident.
When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow of all nerves and systems in the body from the brain, we can’t function at our peak.
An adjustment is often a pressure from the chiropractor utilizing the hands or an instrument to move a vertebrae back into place. This happens with a quick movement and is often without discomfort. You may hear a noise that sounds like you’re cracking your knuckles referred to as joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.
Overall, adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level. When the body is in alignment, the body is able to respond and perform as it was designed to.
Regular spinal adjustments are helpful for every member of the family, and techniques used at Raintree Medical and Chiropractic Center are specific and appropriate for each person, their age, and condition. Anyone from an infant to a pregnant woman to a senior citizen can experience the optimized health and wellness of being evaluated and adjusted by our experienced chiropractors.
