Adjustments
What is it?
A chiropractic adjustment is a quick manipulation to a joint, that is usually associated with a cavitation or ‘crack’. This cracking sound is gas bubbles in your joints popping; not too dissimilar to when someone cracks their knuckles. Tool-assisted adjusting using an Activator or Drop Piece are low-force options when manual adjustments aren’t clinically indicated or for patients who prefer a more gentle approach.
Also known as: joint manipulation, HVLA, grade 4 mobilisation.
What does it do?
Adjustments help the body to heal naturally by decreasing pain, increasing mobility at the joint and improving nerve and muscle function. An adjustment not only has a local affect on the surrounding tissue but has been found to affect the nervous system and brain systemically.
