Adjustments & Manipulation

Chiropractic adjustments are often also referred to as manipulation. An adjustment is minor movement of the vertebrae in the spine. The goal of an adjustment is to restore proper motion and alignment to joints that have moved out of place.
When these joints are not lined up right and/or moving right, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper motion and alignment of our joints and spine, we can't function at our peak performance.
To perform an adjustment the chiropractor uses their hands or an instrument to apply pressure to realign the joint and restore motion to the joint. This should be a quick movement and shouldn't cause any discomfort, but you may hear a noise similar to the noise when you crack your knuckles, which is called joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen within the joint.
Adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level. When the body is in alignment, the body is able to respond and perform as it was designed to. read more
