What is Chiropractic Treatment?

Chiropractic treatment seeks to reduce Subluxations, which is the abnormal motion or position of joints. It occurs when a joint is out of alignment and/or when a joint is restricted from moving and functioning, as it should.

Subluxations can occur when one or more of the vertebrae (bones of your spine) moves out of position and creates pressure on your spinal nerves, impairing your nervous system. Chiropractors evaluate patients to pinpoint the source of Subluxations. They then use a type of hands-on adjustment as their core clinical procedure to correct the problem.

When patients receive a chiropractic adjustment, they typically lay down on a special table. The chiropractor then uses his or her hands and/or special equipment to apply gentle pressure and small adjustments to the spine (including vertebrae) and/or other joints in the body, such as knees, ankles, hands, or feet.

This is perfectly normal and harmless. Occasionally, patients may experience mild discomfort lasting for a short duration following a chiropractic adjustment. The majority of patients, however, experience immediate relief.
