Chiropractic Adjustment
Adjustment is the chiropractic word for manipulation. The chiropractor performs the adjustment by hand in a specific way to restore normal movement to the joints. Chiropractic adjustments can provide effective relief of pain.
The chiropractic adjustment can change the pressure within the joint space, often causing a gas bubble to 'pop' which gives the sound sometimes associated with manipulation. It is not painful and the bones are not cracking or grinding.
How does the adjustment help?
The adjustment can improve the way joints move, reduce muscle tension / spasm around the joints and remove nerve irritation. Therefore, adjustments help people in pain due to sprained joints, strained / torn muscles and trapped nerves.
