A chiropractic adjustment is a therapeutic treatment performed by a licensed chiropractor to realign the spine, correct body alignment, and reduce pain. During an adjustment, the chiropractor uses pressure to manipulate joints to treat conditions of the nervous system and musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic adjustments offer an alternative treatment to traditional medicine for relieving common issues like neck pain, lower back pain, headaches, and other pains and strains without surgery or medications. Chiropractic adjustments can benefit people of all ages as an effective treatment option.
