CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT
An "adjustment", also known as "spinal manipulation", is a term for a short impulse that is applied to a dysfunctional joint. This quick impulse is designed to relax musculature, remove inflammation, reduce pain, and restore motion to a joint that is not moving properly.
In addition to spinal manipulation, your chiropractic physician will transition you to active treatment involving your direct participation. These active treatments include exercise, dietary modification, nutritional guidance, smoking cessation, weight management, and other health programs or self-treatment measures. These active treatment programs are designed to give you the tools you need to maintain you current condition and prevent future injuries.
