What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment – also known as spinal manipulation – is a safe, hands-on technique that chiropractors use to restore proper motion and alignment to the joints of your spine and body. Adjustments help to relieve pain, reduce tension, improve movement, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.
How Does an Adjustment Work?
Daily stress, poor posture, injuries or repetitive movements can cause your joints to become restricted or misaligned. When this happens, it can lead to pain, stiffness and nerve irritation. During an adjustment, your chiropractor uses precise, controlled force to restore healthy movement in your spinal joints.
What Does an Adjustment Feel Like?
An adjustment is typically quick and comfortable. You may feel or hear a “popping” or “cracking” sound — this is simply gas releasing from the joint, similar to cracking your knuckles. Your chiropractor will always tailor the technique to your comfort level and specific condition.
Conditions Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help With:
• Back pain and stiffness
• Neck pain and headaches
• Sciatica
• Poor posture and repetitive strain injuries
• Sports or work-related injuries
