An adjustment is a gentle, specific force delivered to a spinal vertebrae to correct neurological and biomechanical dysfunction.

Different techniques may be utilized for an adjustment, depending on the Chiropractor´s preference and the needs of the patient. The purpose of the adjustment is simple. A good analogy would be a garden hose and a rock. Consider the hose a nerve and the water flowing in it a nerve impulse. If a rock happens to move and obstructs the hose, the water will flow poorly out the opening, or will not even flow at all. The same theory can be applied to the nervous system. If nerve impulses are obstructed to vital organs and glands, these organs and glands begin to function improperly, and may produce a state of "dis-ease". An adjustment removes the blockage of nerve impulses caused by this misalignment to the vertebrae and allows the body to function properly.

Chiropractic is for anyone who wants to stay healthy and maintain a vibrant, wholesome life. Athletes, children and even your pets can benefit from chiropractic.
