An adjustment is the method of treatment used by your chiropractor. Your chiropractor will deliver an adjustment, aka manipulation, to the spine in order to position a misaligned vertebra back to its proper alignment. This is a controlled, highly specific, and safe pressure applied to the spine. A specialized technique will be used depending on your individual spinal condition and needs. This adjustment or manipulation to the spine will, in turn, restore proper position, motion, and function to the area being affected. This precise mechanism is something that your highly skilled chiropractor has learned and perfected through years of training during graduate school and in clinical practice. Chiropractic adjustments are among the safest of all health care treatments because they are drug-free, non-surgical, non-invasive, and low risk. Techniques we use to treat spinal conditions: Diversified Technique (Reinert Specific) Activator Method/Technique Cox Technique (Cox Flexion-Distraction) Thompson Terminal Point Technique aka Thompson Drop SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique)
