Understanding Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, controlled force applied to a joint that is not moving properly. When vertebrae shift out of optimal alignment — a condition chiropractors call a subluxation — they can irritate nearby nerves and strain muscles. Adjustments restore normal movement and reduce nerve pressure.
Evidence-Based Benefits
