Doctors of chiropractic are specially trained in locating and correcting subluxations using a spinal adjustment. During an adjustment, your doctor applies directed force on a joint that is subluxated ("locked up") or not moving properly. This restores normal motion to the joints and allows your bones to gradually return to a proper position, where your body functions at an optimal level. This is a safe, natural approach to healthcare which removes interferences with your spinal and nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments will improve your overall health.

Not all adjustments are the same. Different chiropractic doctors will have different techniques. Sometimes a quick, therapeutic thrust will affect the joint. Other techniques require slow, constant pressure.

With careful evaluation of your spinal problems, your chiropractor will recommend an individual program of care.
