Your body’s soft tissues help you move and work every day. However, certain injuries or conditions can limit your mobility. In turn, your daily activities could be disrupted.
Some musculoskeletal disorders affect the spine, leading to misaligned joints. If your spinal joints are out of place, your spine won’t function properly. Moreover, misaligned joints could affect how your brain and body communicate with each other. Chiropractic care could help you resolve these problems and get your body moving again.
A full body chiropractic adjustment focuses on your whole body, resulting in increased mobility and less pain. This treatment addresses misaligned and aching joints with a variety of chiropractic techniques. Most of the time, your chiropractor will adjust your spine to help soothe your body aches. But they can also perform other adjustments during your treatment.
LifeClinic’s total body adjustments help your body move and work better. We perform these treatments to restore, optimize, and maintain human function. Our team combines chiropractic adjustments and other methods like exercise and nutritional counseling for the best results. This way, you can make a full recovery and return to your daily activities.

You can get chiropractic care for your whole body if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Headaches from a misaligned neck or spine
- Joint or muscle pain
- Chronic back pain
- Limited range of motion
- Intense leg pain
- Stiff body
- Uneven wear of the soles of your shoes
Your chiropractor could also help you manage an injury from a car accident. They can address serious injuries caused by vehicle collisions. Through chiropractic care, your chiropractor can identify and address car accident injuries that could affect your body.
On the other hand, a full body adjustment isn’t advisable if you’re experiencing any of the following conditions:
- Severe osteoporosis
- Excessive spinal movement
- Increased risk of stroke
The results of your physical exam will help us see if you’re an ideal candidate for total body adjustments. We’ll perform several tests during your exam, starting with a closer look at how your body moves.
First, we’ll ask you to walk or march around our exam room. This test will help us identify irregularities between your pelvis and spine. Then, we’ll ask you to bend your body so we can check for stiffness and abnormal curvature of the spine.
We could also move your joints and test your muscle strength, reflexes, and range of motion.
A variety of factors will determine your recovery time. The area you’re treating with chiropractic care is one factor.
- Your bones could take five to six weeks to heal.
- Your ligaments and tendons could heal within six to eight weeks.
- Discs and cartilage have a longer recovery period of three months or more.
However, injuries to multiple soft tissues could take more time to heal.
Lifestyle and age can also be factors for recovery. Your healing time could take a little longer if you smoke or drink alcohol. But if you’re always active, you can expect quicker recovery. You could heal faster at a younger age, too.
After your adjustment, keeping yourself healthy and active is important. Sufficient rest is one way to ensure full recovery and optimum health. Your symptoms could recur without adequate sleep, so it’s best to get enough rest at night.
We’ll also recommend exercises that could help you recover and maintain your adjustment. These exercises can help get your body into the correct position and balance your muscles. Moreover, you could see increased range of motion and flexibility through therapeutic exercises.
Most importantly, we advise you to follow your treatment plan for the best results.
