The cornerstone of chiropractic care, the chiropractic adjustment helps with the removal of subluxations from the spine. Our chiropractors use a technique called diversified technique, which is a collection of adjustments designed for both the spine and all of the extremity joints (arms and legs). A chiropractic adjustment is basically the delivery of a small impulse into a joint after it has been placed at the end of its physiologic range of motion. Sometimes a small noise or popping sound is heard, called a cavitation. A cavitation is the release of gas bubbles that build up in a joint over time and is a completely natural sound.

Chiropractic adjustments are very safe. They have virtually no side effects and are 100 to 10,000 times safer than any prescription drug or surgery. Since there are many different adjustments that accomplish the same goal, we pride ourselves on feedback from the patient that allows us to use a technique that works harmoniously with his or her body. In some instances, an instrument-assisted adjustment can be performed for patients with certain restrictions or limitations based on the examination performed.

It is also very important to seek the care of a professional licensed to find and remove subluxations properly and safely. Chiropractors are the only licensed doctors capable of finding and removing subluxations safely and effectively.
