WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?

A chiropractic adjustment helps to restore and maintain the proper function of our nervous system. The nervous system consists of our brain and spinal cord, and from the spinal cord exits peripheral nerves. In order to maintain a healthy nervous system, it is imperative to make sure there is as little interference with the signals our nerves send. The joints in our spine and even extremities can become misaligned and lose their ability to move properly, thus causing irritation to nerves. This is where the adjustment is necessary.

JOINT MOTION = JOINT HEALTH

The purpose of the adjustment is not to "crack" or "pop" joints, however that is often a by-product. The true purpose of the adjustment is to impart motion to joints that are not moving properly. This can help to realign bones and joints, but more importantly it provides nutrition to the cartilage of the joints.
