Adjustments don’t put bones in place or set bones, like setting a fracture. Spinal misalignment (subluxations) occurs as an imbalance of nerve muscle control. When trauma or repetitive posturing occurs, nerve receptors that control posture are triggered to signal muscles to pull a certain direction. Over time, the posture receptors develop memory. Once the chiropractor identifies the abnormal posture patterns and spinal misalignments, adjustments and exercises can be done to trigger the muscles to realign the spine and posture. Repetition and consistency are necessary to make spinal and posture corrections, just like working out in the gym. The more consistent the inputs, the better the body can adapt.
