A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is a therapeutic procedure performed by chiropractors. It involves the application of controlled force, typically by hand, to manipulate joints, especially those in the spine. The objective is to correct alignment issues, improve joint function, and alleviate pain or discomfort. Chiropractors believe that misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can impact the nervous system and overall health. Through adjustments, they aim to restore proper alignment, enhance the range of motion, and promote the body's natural ability to heal. Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to address various musculoskeletal issues, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
