 It is a method of healing without drugs or surgery. Chiropractors use various diagnostic tests, including x-rays and spinal scans, to locate vertebral subluxations (a spinal bone which has moved out of its normal alignment) and determine how the subluxations are affecting your health. An adjustment optimizes the function of the body through structural alignment, using the neuromusculoskeletal system to help patients regain their health. A chiropractic adjustment is a low force, high speed, gentle technique used to restore proper position and movement of the spine. Chiropractic adjustments are safe and very seldom painful when performed by a skilled chiropractor. |
