What is an adjustment?
An adjustment is a highly skilled and precise movement usually applied by hand to a joint of the body. Adjustment momentarily loosens the joint and helps it back into proper alignment, relieving pressure on the joint and surrounding nerves. When a joint is adjusted, a gas bubble escapes causing the popping noise you may have heard about.
Why is spinal health important?
The body's information highway - your nervous system - is protected by the spine. The nervous system travels out between the vertebrae or joints of the spine to carry messages from the brain to every corner of your body. Stress and strain on the vertebrae can put pressure on the nerves in the affected area. That is why a problem with your spine can have far-reaching effects causing symptoms such as arm or leg pain.
