Spinal Correction Preston
Throughout our life, we experienced many forms of trauma. Some are micro traumas that are caused by looking down at our phones and screens for long periods, repetitive strains or poor posture. Others are macro traumas like sporting injuries or car accidents. All, however, can cause pain, inflammation, discomfort and compensatory misalignments.
Our bodies are designed to be healthy but unfortunately, modern people lead pretty unnatural lives. Poor movement and bad habits along with physical, chemical and emotional stressors, can all lead to an overload on our spinal cord and nervous system. Biomechanical misalignments can cause several problems including pain, bad posture, lack of mobility and even reduce your quality of life.
Our local chiropractic clinic offers spinal correction treatment accessible to residents of Preston and the surrounding communities. Chiropractic care can be helpful to help combat and maintain optimal health and movement.

What is a spinal correction?
The initial approach to biomechanical misalignment is to assist in overcoming pain and inflammation. The long term strategy is to adjust the structure of the spine, to help prevent repeat injuries or episodes.
Chiropractors may either use their hands or a special device to apply a controlled thrust to a section of your spine during treatment.
If you’ve suffered from injuries sustained whilst at work, our spinal correction treatment can help alleviate pain and increase your function.
What are the benefits of spinal correction?
Patients may significantly benefit from spinal correction treatment. These benefits include –
- Pain reduction – a spinal adjustment can help release a pressure in the spinal joints, which might have increased inflammation and pain in that particular area
- Increased mobility – our treatments are designed to address pain and stiffness, helping you to use your joints to their full capacity.
- Reduce inflammation – studies show that spinal corrections can reduce inflammation. Inflammation is one of the biggest causes of pain, joint issues, and tension.
- Improve neurological symptoms – a spinal correction can increase the blood flow to the brain which can help alleviate symptoms of certain conditions such as epilepsy.

Disc prolapse can often occur as a result of excess stress on the disc due to poor posture, being overweight, trauma, and other conditions such as spinal stenosis. Spinal correction is an beneficial treatment for correcting posture and can help alleviate the symptoms of a herniated disc.

Spinal corrections can help treat symptoms of scoliosis, a condition that causes posture, back pain, and limited range of motion as a result of abnormal curvature of the spine.
