What are Manual Adjustments?
Manual adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, are a safe and effective hands-on therapy used by chiropractors to restore proper movement and function to the spine and joints. During a manual adjustment, a chiropractor applies controlled, precise pressure to specific areas of the spine or extremities that are restricted, often called a joint dysfunction. This technique helps alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, and promote better movemnt patterns. Manual adjustments are commonly used to treat conditions like back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and vaious other joint dysfunctions. By correcting improving joint mobility, spinal manipulations support the body’s natural healing process, enhance overall physical function, and provide long-term pain relief. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to optimize your wellness, manual adjustments can be an essential part of your chiropractic care plan.
