What is Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic adjustment or manipulation, is a hands-on technique used by chiropractors to manipulate the joints of the spine or other areas of the body to improve motion and function. The goal of the adjustment is to alleviate pain, improve joint mobility, and enhance the body’s ability to heal itself.

Why Chiropractic Adjustment?

Chiropractors believe that misalignments or subluxations in the spine can disrupt the proper functioning of the nervous system, leading to pain and other health problems. Through chiropractic adjustments, we aim to correct these misalignments, restore normal joint motion, and promote overall wellness.

In addition to spinal adjustments, our chiropractors are also trained in extremity adjustments. Extremity adjustments refers to the manipulation of joints outside of the spine, such as those in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. Common conditions that may benefit from extremity adjustments include sprains, strains, joint stiffness, tendinitis, and sports-related injuries affecting the extremities. 

If you have any concerns or questions about chiropractic care and whether it may be right for you, it is always best to consult our chiropractors. We can assess your condition, provide a personalised care plan, and answer any queries you may have.

They will perform a thorough evaluation of your condition and medical history to determine if neck adjustments are appropriate for you.
