Sports Injury Adjustments Made by Dr. Steve Ward Sports injuries. The wall adjustment technique is effective in treating sports injuries as well as those from other causes including neck pain, shoulder blade pain, lower back pain. And the reason why it's so effective is that there are no twisting dynamics that are being done on the spine. For instance, for someone who has a lower back case, and they have a lot of lower back pain, if the chiropractor puts them on their side and twists their lower back, it is possible to shear their lower back disk (very bad) and the doctor can take a compressed disk and make it more narrow (also very bad). So, over time, it is possible to put that lower back disk in even more stress. That's why Dr. Ward uses wall adjustments. They apply straight-on force so there are no twisting dynamics that can hurt you. Wall adjustments are much healthier for the spine. Are you looking for pain relief?
