Chiropractic Adjustment

Mechanism of Action

How It Works

A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, controlled manual technique applied to the spine or joints to restore proper alignment and movement. By improving joint mobility and reducing restrictions, adjustments help decrease nerve irritation, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall function of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
