What is a Spinal Adjustment?
A spinal adjustment, also known as chiropractic manipulation, or spinal manipulation, is a common therapeutic treatment for lower back pain. A spinal adjustment refers to when a chiropractor applies manipulation to the vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally.
The objective of a spinal adjustment treatment is to reduce subluxation, which is a disorder of the spine where the alignment and physiological functions of the spine are altered, with the goals of increasing the range of motion, reducing nerve irritability, and improving function.
An adjustment is a safe, natural, noninvasive procedure to restore and improve health. Learning the art of adjusting is a skill that requires years of study and practice. They are best left to chiropractic doctors. Spinal adjustments by any other individual or health care professional have been shown to be dangerous and less effective.
In basic terms, a spinal adjustment or spinal manipulation refers to the process in which the doctor of chiropractic skillfully applies controlled force into one or more “subluxated” vertebrae of the spine. The adjustment is also frequently used in the pelvic region to normalize the sacroiliac joints. The adjustment is usually delivered using the hands or through the use of a specialized mechanical tool.

Common Questions About Spinal Adjustments
What is a spinal adjustment?
A controlled, targeted force applied to a specific joint to restore normal motion where it has become restricted. The aim is better movement and less irritation of the surrounding tissue and nerves.
What happens at my first visit?
You give your history, we examine you, and we order imaging if the findings call for it. Only then do we explain what we found and recommend a plan. Treatment on the first visit is common but not automatic.
How long does an appointment take?
A first visit usually runs longer because of the history and examination. Follow-up visits are typically much shorter, depending on which therapies are part of your plan.
Will the adjustment hurt?
Most people feel pressure and a brief release rather than pain. Mild soreness the next day is common. Tell us if anything is uncomfortable, because technique and force can be changed.
