Chiropractic adjustments realign joints that have become immobilized and have limited proper function of nearby nerves. Adjustments can be accomplished in several ways.
For some problems, a steady constant pressure is utilized.
For another, a sudden thrust is needed.
For still another, an instrument distributes carefully focused energy.
There may be one or more areas that require adjustment and sometimes a popping sound occurs. Patients report feeling at ease after an adjustment, and look forward to their next visit. As adjustments are specifically targeted to your particular health problem, size and age, newborns to seniors can benefit from this chiropractic procedure.
We would be happy to discuss your health concerns in a no-obligation consultation.
