Chiropractic manipulation is a form of alternative medicine that involves the use of manual therapy to manipulate the spine, joints, and soft tissues. It is based on the theory that misalignments or subluxations in the spine can interfere with the body’s natural healing abilities, causing pain, discomfort, and other health problems.

Chiropractic manipulation typically involves a series of high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts applied to specific joints in the spine or other parts of the body. The goal of these adjustments is to restore proper joint function, reduce pain, and improve overall health and well-being.

Chiropractic manipulations, also known as chiropractic adjustments, are a form of manual therapy used by chiropractors to treat musculoskeletal conditions. The goal of chiropractic adjustments is to restore proper joint mobility and alleviate pain and dysfunction.

During a chiropractic adjustment, a chiropractor will use their hands or a specialized tool to apply a controlled force to a specific joint in the body. The force is intended to move the joint beyond its normal range of motion, which can help to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function.

Chiropractic adjustments are most commonly used to treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain in the arms or legs. They are often used in conjunction with other therapies, such as massage, exercise, and dietary changes, to provide a comprehensive approach to healing.
