Spinal joints can become misaligned and restricted due to normal wear and tear or traumatic injuries, leading to irritated nerve roots and a range of health issues.

Through gentle manipulation of these spinal joints, our chiropractors employ various techniques and therapies to restore alignment, enhance motion, and improve nerve function. This approach targets the underlying cause of the condition, providing long-term pain relief and stability.

An adjustment, also referred to as joint manipulation, is a gentle and precisely targeted thrust designed to restore motion to a stiff joint. While chiropractors typically perform adjustments by hand, they may occasionally utilize other instruments. The primary objectives of chiropractic adjustments are to restore functionality, enhance range of motion, and alleviate pain.

Most chiropractic adjustments are painless and often provide a sense of relief and comfort.

During a manual adjustment, the joints are slightly separated to restore proper motion. This process creates an air bubble, resulting in a “pop” similar to the sound produced when a champagne cork is removed. It’s important to note that not all patients experience this sound, and not all adjustment techniques produce it. Therefore, an adjustment can still be effective even in the absence of noise. For patients who are uncomfortable with manual adjustments or the accompanying sounds, light pressure adjusting instruments can be utilized.
