What is a chiropractic adjustment?

Chiropractic adjustments help to normalize proper movement of the spine and other joints of the body. Treatments consist of chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities and may also include stretching of the muscles and tissue, mobilization of the joints and stabilization exercises. The treatment series functions to return the body to its natural motion and is aimed at breaking the pain cycle and restoring function to the joints, muscles and nerves of the body.
