What are spinal adjustments?
Spinal adjustments are the manipulation of the spine using either the hands or chiropractic instruments. There are a variety of techniques for different goals. In general, force is applied to a specific point on the spine in a way designed to return the vertebrae to the proper anatomical position. This leads to reduced pain and pressure, as well as improved overall spinal health.What do spinal adjustments feel like?
Adjustments are generally painless. A quick force will be applied to the spine. Then, you'll normally feel and hear a pop, similar to cracking a knuckle. After that, many patients report feeling a release of tension in the affected area. These adjustments have minimal side effects, and severe reactions are pretty rare.What can spinal adjustments treat?

How Does Spinal Manipulation Work?
There are well over 100 types of adjustment techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world. Some practitioners may use force and twisting, while other techniques are more gentle. Regardless of how they are performed, these techniques are intended to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of reducing pain and resolving joint inflammation.
When vertebrae shift out of place, there is an overall systemic response from the muscular system to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow, our nerves, our immune system, and our minds cannot function at their highest peak.
Overall, spinal adjustments and manipulations are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level without any discomfort. When the body is adequately aligned, it becomes able to respond and perform as it was built to do.
