Spinal manipulation therapy (also called an “adjustment”) is a safe, highly skilled procedure, in which the chiropractor will use their hands to apply controlled force to your joint and guide it through a range of motion.
Spinal Manipulation Therapy
Understanding Chiropractic Adjustments Procedure, Effects, and Suitability.
Chiropractic adjustments are used to restore joint motion and improve function. With this procedure, the patient may hear a “cracking” or “popping” sound that is caused by pressure changes within the joint. These pressure changes cause a gas bubble to escape from the joint capsule, which creates the sound.
While chiropractic adjustments are a very safe procedure, they are not indicated for all patients. A thorough history and physical examination will determine whether you are a good candidate for an adjustment. Alternative treatments, such as joint mobilizations, can be used in place of an adjustment when indicated
