What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, are a core component of chiropractic care. These manual techniques involve applying controlled force to specific joints, particularly the spine, to restore proper alignment, improve function, and alleviate pain. The goal is to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself and maintain optimal health.

What to Expect During an Adjustment

When you come in for a chiropractic adjustment, here’s what you can typically expect:

  1. Initial Consultation: We start with a thorough consultation to understand your health history, symptoms, and goals. This may include physical exams, orthopedic tests, and, if necessary, imaging studies like X-rays.
  2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, a customized treatment plan is developed to address your specific needs.
  3. The Adjustment: The adjustment itself is a quick and precise movement applied to the affected joint. It may produce a popping sound, which is simply the release of gas from the joint and is completely normal.
  4. Post-Adjustment Care: After the adjustment, you may receive recommendations for exercises, stretches, and lifestyle changes to enhance the benefits of the treatment and prevent future issues.

Common Conditions Treated with Adjustments

  • Back Pain: One of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Adjustments can relieve pain caused by muscle tension, disc issues, or spinal misalignments.
  • Neck Pain: Often resulting from poor posture, stress, or injuries like whiplash. Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate discomfort and restore proper function.
  • Headaches and Migraines: Many headaches are linked to neck tension and spinal misalignments. Chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.
  • Joint Pain: Whether it’s in the shoulders, elbows, hips, or knees, adjustments can help relieve pain and improve joint function.
  • TMJ Disorders: Specialized adjustments can effectively treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, alleviating jaw pain and associated symptoms like headaches.
