A chiropractic adjustment is the use of a specific force in a precise direction that helps to normalize spinal function. The adjustment is applied to a joint which is fixated,”locked up”, or not moving properly. By the help of adjustment the bones return to its normal position or motion, restoring body’s natural healing.
The Chiropractor can adjust the spine in different ways.
Sometimes the chiropractor will use their hands to deliver a fast, highly accurate thrust and sometimes they might use an instrument that directs a repeatable force to a fixated spinal joint.
Other times, a slow, constant pressure is used. Some chiropractic doctors use special tables with moving sections. Depending on the need, several areas of the spine may be adjusted or just one.
The key is to use the precise amount of energy at the correct spot, in the right direction, and at just the right time to get spinal joints moving again. Chiropractic is truly an art. Our chiropractic doctors has one or more adjusting techniques to serve the community from children to elderly patient's.
