Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, are precise techniques used to correct misalignments in the spine and joints. These misalignments, or subluxations, can cause pain, stiffness, and nerve interference, impacting your body’s ability to function optimally.
Anywhere in the body where bones come together to form joints (i.e. the spine, feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, jaw), Chiropractic can improve alignment and how the joints move. This helps relieve pain, improve mobility, increase function, and promote natural healing.Conditions Treated with Chiropractic Adjustments
