What is a Spinal Adjustment?

A spinal adjustment is when a chiropractor uses a special technique to eliminate or reduce vertebral subluxations in your spine.  When you visit a chiropractor for the first time, you can receive an analysis of your spine that will help determine how many subluxations are in your spine and how they can be treated.

During a Spinal Analysis, What Does a Chiropractor Take Into Consideration?

• Which direction are the vertebrae out of alignment?
• Is the patient relaxed enough for a spinal adjustment?
• What is the best technique to use?
• Why is there stress and tension in this area of the body?
• What is the minimal amount of force necessary to realign the spine?
