Also known as adjustment, chiropractic manipulation is a manual procedure, typically done by a chiropractor’s hands, that applies a controlled low force to a spinal joint. According to the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractic care has existed since the beginning of recorded time with processes gaining momentum with each passing year.

This form of chiropractic care can help those who are suffering from a wide range of conditions, including joint pain, strains, or sprains, headaches, whiplash, arthritis, poor posture, as well as many other neuromusculoskeletal problems.

A chiropractor’s goal is to help correct the patient’s musculoskeletal structural alignment and to restore their joints to a normal range of motion. Patients will feel a decreased in pain and increase in motion.
