How it Works
The most critical part of a chiropractic treatment is the chiropractic adjustment. This works on the premise that a joint, any joint in the body, is not moving to its full capacity. It may be restricted by tight muscles or inflammation. By applying a quick but gentle force through the joint, primarily using hands, it allows the joint to move with greater freedom through an appropriate range of motion, reducing pain and restoring joint movement. You may or may not hear a “pop” noise, which may be the result of a release of gas within the joint due to a change in pressure, which is perfectly normal.
