How Adjustment Works?
First, the chiropractor checks your spine. They look for stiff spots. You lie on a soft table.
They put their hands on the sore joint. They may use a small tool. Then they give a quick push.
This push moves the joint more than usual. It helps the joint line up right. It takes pressure off nerves.
Chiropractors in your area pick the best way. Some pushes are gentle. Others use a special table.
The table helps with the push. The way they choose depends on you. Your age and health matter.
Adjustments often come with other help. This may be muscle work or exercises. It helps you heal faster.
