cracking or popping your spine, precise touch to specific areas near the
ends of your spine with just a few ounces of pressure is used to create
what’s called “spinal entrainment,” a shifting of your nervous system
from defense to a more sustainable pattern of ease.
Dr. Brian Dickert, a Charlottesville chiropractor since 1997, will describe
