What is an Adjustment?

WHAT IS AN ADJUSTMENT?

A chiropractor uses a precise technique called an "adjustment" to restore movement to a joint, to release pressure on the spine or joints, and to remove interference caused by subluxations.   The adjustment restores flow to the nerves and enables the nervous system to function effectively. Chiropractic adjustments are gentle and effective.  Our Chiropractors are trained to use a variety of different ways of performing adjustments - these are tailored to our clients and their needs.  Not all clients have "manual" adjustments (where there may be a popping sound - refer to "What about that Popping Sound?").  We also use a simple instrument called an "activator" to apply gentle pressure to joints/spine that achieves the same end result. Our Chiros do a thorough exam before adjusting you and will talk to you about your needs!
