Adjustments/Manipulation

Adjustments (or “spinal manipulation”) refers to the chiropractic doctor’s strategic movement of the vertebrae of the spine. Vertebrae can become misaligned for a variety of reasons, such as:

• Sleeping in the wrong position or on a bad mattress
• Growth or physical deformities
• Repetitive motion (golf or baseball swinging, for example)
• Poor diet
• Extended texting or looking at a phone
• Long hours in a chair
• Trauma, such as a car accident or falling
• Emotional stress

The misaligned spine is one of the most common causes of back pain. Let’s face it, when your back hurts, it can be absolutely debilitating where even the simplest activities are difficult if not impossible to perform. The goal of spinal adjustment is to systematically realign the spine to its natural and normal condition.
