What is an adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is the use of specific force in a precise direction that helps normalize spinal function.

When the 24 bones that protect the spinal cord lose their normal position or motion, nerve tissues can become choked or irritated. If examination of your spine reveals and area that is out of alignment (subluxated), chiropractic adjustments are recommended.

There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually the doctor's hands or a specially designed instrument is used. Regardless of the technique used, Dr. Medelberg tailors each adjustment specifically to the patient's age, size, and unique spinal situation.
