Restoring Motion and Function
A chiropractic adjustment (also known as spinal manipulation) is a highly skilled, precise movement applied by hand or instrument to a joint that is restricted or not moving properly.
When joints become "locked up" due to posture abnormalities, stress, or trauma like whiplash, they trigger massive inflammation and muscle spasms. The adjustment breaks this cycle, instantly restoring normal biomechanics and turning off the pain signals sent to your brain.
The First Step in Structural Care
- Pain ReliefAdjustments provide rapid relief from neck and back pain by releasing endorphins and decreasing localized joint pressure.
- Preparation for CBPA stiff spine cannot be remolded. Adjustments "unstick" the rigid segments, allowing our structural traction therapies to effectively reshape the spine into its optimal curve.
- Mirror Image AdjustingAs part of our advanced protocols, we often adjust patients while they are positioned in the exact opposite (mirror image) of their bad posture to rapidly retrain the nervous system.
