What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
Calculated Adjustment
Adjustment refers to a specific, calculated adjustment to a specific vertebra. Chiropractic adjustment is an adjusting thrust done by hand applied to the vertebra, relieving pain sensation, discomfort, and spasms along the spinal column but most importantly reducing the nerve interference.
Chiropractic Goal
The goal of chiropractic care is to reduce nerve interference and allow maximum expression of your nervous system. This can get your body back to its normal, healthy state and enjoying being pain-free every single day.
Feel Better
A chiropractic adjustment can make you feel so much better. Your body does not want to be out of alignment, and that’s exactly what an adjustment can help address. You may hear some people call it chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation. These are not accurate terms. What Chiropractors do is called Chiropractic Adjustment.
How Often Do I Need It?
Accidents
