What is a chiropractic adjustment?
An adjustment is the main method of treatment used by your chiropractor. It is a specialized, controlled and safe pressure applied to your spine to restore the proper motion and position of your vertebrae. It is a precise procedure that your highly skilled chiropractor has learned and perfected over years of training at a Chiropractic College and in clinical practice.
There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually the doctor's hands or a specially designed instrument is used to deliver a highly-accurate thrust. After years of training, each doctor has selected a variety of methods and has become skilled in their delivery. Regardless of the technique used, each chiropractic adjustment is tailored to the patient's age, size, and unique spinal problem.
Adjustments help normalize spinal function and joint mobility. When nervous system function improves in this way, the body can begin the natural healing process.
