A chiropractic adjustment is a manual therapy technique used by chiropractors to improve spinal alignment and overall body function. This process involves applying controlled force to specific joints, primarily in the spine, to restore proper movement and reduce pain. Adjustments aim to alleviate discomfort caused by misalignments, known as subluxations, which can affect the nervous system and overall health. Chiropractors often use various methods for adjustments, including hands-on techniques or specialized instruments. Patients may seek chiropractic care for issues such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Regular adjustments can promote better posture and enhance mobility, contributing to overall wellness.
