What Is an Adjustment?

It is a specific skilled procedure that a chiropractor uses in order to correct the subluxation. Adjustment techniques vary depending on the patient's condition and the methods that the chiropractor was trained to perform. In some instances the thrust of the Doctor's hand may produce a harmless audible release (like the noise from cracking your knuckles) or no noise may be produced at all. Some adjustments may also employ the use of mechanical devises or specialized tables.

No matter what type of adjustment you receive the goal is to remove the subluxation complex thereby relieving the nerve irritation allowing your body to rebuild and heal itself.
