What to Expect: Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments are an all-natural method of realigning and restoring normal motion to the vertebrae of the spine. This technique is beneficial because it helps relieve patient pain and improve patient health. Whether you’re injured or suffering from a chronic condition, your chiropractor can help.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustments have many benefits, including:

Non-invasive.

Unlike surgeries and other standard forms of medical treatment, chiropractic adjustment is non-invasive. This means that a spinal adjustment has little or no recovery time, and patients who receive spinal adjustments can continue with their normal, everyday life while seeing a chiropractor.

Natural.

A chiropractic adjustment is all natural! Pain management techniques, like spinal adjustments, involve no addictive medications, so you can feel better and avoid injury while still acting and feeling like yourself.

Preventative.

Spinal adjustments help realign the vertebrae of the spine and prevent the spinal column being pinched in the spinal column. This helps improve communication between the brain and the rest of the body, which reduces the chance of further injury.

Pain relief.

Spinal adjustments help relieve the pressure on the joints to provide safe pain relief.

How Chiropractic Adjustment Works

Using a Spinal Adjuster
Manual Spinal Adjustment

A chiropractic adjustment can be done with a tool or by hand. This technique is generally not painful, and in fact many patients who receive chiropractic adjustments enjoy the experience. Spinal adjustments are typically administered to patients who lay on the examination table at the chiropractor’s office. Different adjustments are given at different points on the spinal column, based on the needs of the patient.
