Can the cervical spine be realigned in one adjustment?

In general, whether a single cervical realignment can successfully correct the condition depends on several factors, including the severity of the condition, individual differences, the method of realignment, and post-procedure care. The specific analysis is as follows:

If the cervical misalignment is mild, without severe herniated discs or bone spurs, and if the patient has strong recovery ability, chooses a professional and appropriate realignment method, and strictly follows medical advice for neck protection after the procedure—avoiding poor posture—then in such cases, a single cervical realignment may be sufficient to achieve correction, with proper follow-up care helping to maintain the results.

However, if the cervical misalignment is severe, accompanied by complex issues such as disc herniation compressing nerves or bone spurs, if the patient is older or in poor general health, if the realignment method is not fully suited to the condition, or if proper neck care is not taken afterward—such as frequent低头 (bending the head forward), intense physical activity—then a single realignment is usually insufficient to fully correct the problem, and multiple sessions or additional treatments may be required.

Prior to undergoing cervical realignment, it is essential to visit a正规 hospital for a thorough evaluation to clearly understand the condition and to have the procedure performed by an experienced physician, avoiding blind manipulation. After realignment, adequate rest is important; neck movement should be minimized, and a pillow of appropriate height should be used. If symptoms such as increased neck pain, dizziness, or limb numbness occur, prompt medical re-evaluation is necessary.
