ADJUSTMENTS

The term "adjustment" refers to the specific application of forces applied to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally(subluxated).

The primary objective of the chiropractic adjustment is to reduce or eliminate the vertebral subluxation, which results in an increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritability/interferene thus allowing optimal nervous system function and improved health. Adjustments also improve postural imbalances and range of motion.

The chiropractor, in most cases, will use his or her hands in applying corrective pressure to the spine in a specific direction and location. In some cases, the chiropractor may use instruments to detect a subluxation and adjust the spine while other chirorpractors may use specialized tables to assist with the spinal adjustment. Under normal circumstances, chiropractic adjustments are painless.
