Friday FAQ... Why does a Chiropractic adjustment help relieve my pain? Answer: Pain can sometimes be a result of restricted motion in the spinal joints. This will decrease the amount of motion receptors called mechanoreceptors and increase the amount of pain receptors called nociceptors. An adjustment increases motion in the spine thus increasing mechanoreceptor activity and decreasing nociceptors activity, decreasing pain.
