Chiropractic adjustments are hands-on or instrument assisted movements that help restore proper alignment and motion to your spine and joints. They are a safe, natural way to support your body’s ability to heal, relieve pain, and stay healthy without drugs or surgery.
What do adjustments feel like?
During a chiropractic adjustment, you may feel light pressure or a quick, controlled movement as the chiropractor realigns a joint or part of your spine. Some people hear or feel a “pop” or “click,” which is simply air releasing from the joint—similar to cracking your knuckles. Most patients feel an immediate sense of release, while others notice gradual improvement over time as their body relaxes and begins to function better.
What can adjustments treat?
Chiropractic adjustments help treat problems that come from misalignments or restricted movement in the spine and joints which can irritate nerves, cause muscle tension, and lead to pain or stiffness. Adjustments are commonly used to relieve headaches, neck and back pain, sciatica, joint pain, and posture-related issues.
How many adjustments will I need?
The number of chiropractic adjustments you’ll need depends on the severity of your problem, how long you’ve had it, and your health goals. Some people feel better after just a couple visits, while others need a series of adjustments to get the desired result.
