The chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, restores joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement. The adjustment, or manipulation, of the affected joints and tissues serves to correct the root of the problem; therefore restoring mobility, alleviating pain and muscle tightness and allowing tissues to heal. With a variety of state-of-the art techniques and treatments, chiropractic adjustments are safe, effective and comfortable for all types and all ages of patients.
