"How Often Should I Get Chiropractic Adjustments?"

Published January 12th, 2025 by Camarata Chiropractic

One of the most common questions we hear at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness is, “How often should I get adjusted?” The answer depends on two major factors: alignment and mobility. These factors are influenced by the unique stressors in your life and how your body adapts to them. Let’s dive deeper into why chiropractic adjustments are essential for your health, how often you might need them, and how the Three T’s—trauma, thoughts, and toxins—play a role.

Alignment: Maintaining Spinal Health

Your spine is the foundation of your body, and proper alignment is key to maintaining optimal health. Misalignments in the spine, known as vertebral subluxations, can interfere with the function of your nervous system, posture, and overall mobility.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment by addressing subluxations, which can result from poor posture, stress, or physical injury. The ability to maintain this alignment—or “hold your adjustment”—depends on your body’s ability to adapt to various stressors.

Mobility: Moving Better, Feeling Better

In addition to alignment, mobility is critical to your health. Chiropractic care improves:

Spine Mobility: Ensuring each spinal segment moves properly to prevent stiffness and pain.
Extremity Mobility: Keeping shoulders, hips, knees, and other joints functional and pain-free.
Intersegmental Mobility: Enhancing movement between individual spinal segments to maintain overall flexibility and reduce tension in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

Improving mobility allows your body to move more freely, prevents compensation patterns, and supports better performance in daily activities and sports.
