Chiropractic Adjustments

At CORE Health Centers, we utilize different techniques and methods for performing chiropractic adjustments. One of those techniques is the Manual Adjustment Chiropractic Technique, which is a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust, which is a swift, short movement to encourage proper vertebral alignment. The Manual Adjustment involves using the hands to flex, mobilize, and/or adjust a spinal joint in order to correct any abnormalities in the joint and relieve pain, stiffness, swelling, or other symptoms. The reason CORE Health Centers’ chiropractors will use manual adjustment, is to attempt to correct the function, motion, or alignment of one or more of your vertebrae. The misalignment in the joints of your spine is called subluxation. When your vertebrae becomes misaligned, exert pressure is then being pushed on the surrounding nerves. This can result in tingling, stiffness, weakness, and pain throughout the back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs, and anywhere else on the body. By using manual adjustments, CORE Health Centers’ chiropractors can realigning the problematic vertebrae and help to put these symptoms to rest.

What are Manual Adjustments?

Chiropractic manual adjustments is the treatment most people think of chiropractors performing. The chiropractor very specifically locates the source of joint pain and lack of joint movement between two bones. With a highly trained and experienced light thrust, one joint is pushed past another to open up the joint space. A clicking or popping sound is often produced when the joint is opened and “unstuck.” The ultimate goal of a chiropractic manual adjustment is to restore the nerve flow so the body can resume its optimal performance. The manual adjustment technique helps by removing the nerve interference by repositioning the misalignment bones.

Are Manual Adjustments Safe?

Manual adjustments is a very safe and effective procedure for neck aches and pains. Millions of manual adjustments are performed every day by chiropractors across the nation without any incidents. In fact, numerous studies have shown the effectiveness and safety of chiropractic manual adjustments. There have also been numerous healthcare studies that have shown that manual adjustments provided early in treatment is the most cost effective therapy for neck and back pain. Some patients experience minor stiffness or aches in the days after their appointment while the spine adjusts to the new alignment, but manual adjustments are often an effective treatment for acute lower back pain, neck pain, and other common aches and pains.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Adjustments

What is a chiropractic adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, hands-on technique used to improve joint movement and restore proper function to the spine or other joints in the body. Chiropractors use adjustments to address areas of restricted motion that may contribute to pain, stiffness, or limited mobility.

What does a chiropractic adjustment help treat?

Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used as part of a treatment plan for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, and certain musculoskeletal injuries. Your chiropractor will determine whether an adjustment is appropriate based on your symptoms, health history, and examination findings.

Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during a chiropractic adjustment. Some people feel immediate relief, while others may notice mild soreness similar to what you might experience after starting a new exercise program. This temporary soreness typically resolves within a day or two.

What is the popping sound during an adjustment?

The popping or cracking sound sometimes heard during an adjustment is simply the release of gas bubbles from the fluid inside the joint. This is called cavitation and is similar to the sound made when cracking your knuckles. It is not the sound of bones moving or breaking.

The adjustment itself usually takes only a few minutes. Your overall appointment may include a health review, physical examination, therapeutic recommendations, exercises, or other treatments based on your personalized care plan.
