Adjustments Improve Alignment and Help Pain Relief

A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is the most popular chiropractic procedure. By applying pressure to specific joints in the spine or other parts of the body to correct misalignments, improve joint function, and alleviate musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. Adjustments put things back where they should be, and that can help relieve pain and improve mobility. It's like a little tune-up for your body.

What To Expect During an Adjustment

Here's a five-bullet list of what to expect during a chiropractic adjustment:

• Assessment: Before the adjustment, the chiropractor will typically conduct a thorough consultation and assessment of your medical history, current symptoms, and physical condition.
  
• Discussion of the treatment plan: The chiropractor will discuss their findings with you and create a personalized treatment plan, explaining the goals of the adjustment and the expected outcomes.
  
• Positioning and preparation: You will be asked to lie down on a chiropractic table in a specific position. The chiropractor will make sure you are comfortable and may use specialized cushions or supports.
• Manual adjustment: The chiropractor will use their hands or specialized instruments to apply controlled, quick, and precise force to specific areas of your spine or joints. This adjustment aims to correct misalignments (subluxations) and improve joint function. After the adjustment, we'll talk about post-treatment advice to help maintain the benefits of the adjustment.

How Often Should You Get an Adjustment?
