What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

A chiropractic adjustment (also called spinal manipulation or joint manipulation) is a controlled, specific force applied to a joint—most often in the spine—to improve motion, reduce stiffness, and relieve discomfort. Adjustments may be performed by hand or with instruments and can be combined with soft‑tissue work, stretching, and home exercises for lasting results.

Minimally invasive: No surgery or incisions. You may hear a harmless “pop” as gas releases from the joint.

Chiropractic Adjustments

How It Works

Consultation & Assessment - Your first visit includes a health history, posture and mobility checks, and targeted orthopedic/neurologic screening. Imaging may be recommended if clinically appropriate. We define your goals (pain relief, mobility, posture, activity/life goals) and outline a plan.
Personalized Care Plan - Based on findings, your chiropractor selects techniques (manual or instrument‑assisted) and frequency (e.g., a short relief phase followed by stabilization/maintenance). You’ll get simple at‑home tips to support progress.
The Adjustment - While positioned comfortably on a padded table, your provider applies a precise, brief force to the targeted joint(s). Some techniques use a drop‑table or handheld instrument for a gentler feel.
Aftercare - Many people notice easier movement right away. Mild soreness—similar to a workout—can occur for 24–48 hours. Hydration, light movement, and the suggested exercises typically help.

What You’ll Feel & When (Typical Timeline)

Immediately to 24 hours: Many notice easier movement and reduced tension.
24–48 hours: Possible mild soreness; light mobility and hydration recommended.
1–2 weeks: With a short series of visits and home exercises, improvements in mobility and posture usually build. Ongoing maintenance is optional based on goals and job/sport demands.

Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments

Pain relief & mobility - Helps reduce back and neck pain, headaches related to the neck, and stiffness—so you can move more freely.
Posture & alignment support - Targeted adjustments plus simple exercises can help counter desk posture and repetitive‑stress patterns.
Function for daily life & sport - Restores joint mechanics to support lifting, sitting, driving, training, and recovery.

Results vary by person and condition. Adjustments complement—not replace—medical care, sleep, and good movement habits.

FAQ

Any Concerns?

We'll put your mind at rest

Q: What’s the “crack” sound?

A harmless gas release (cavitation) from the joint fluid as pressure changes—not bones grinding. Some effective adjustments make no sound at all.

Q: Will it hurt?

Most adjustments are comfortable; some people feel a quick, pressure‑like sensation. Temporary soreness—like after new exercise—is possible.

Q: How many visits will I need?

It depends on your goals, exam findings, and how your body responds. Some feel relief quickly; others benefit from a short series plus home exercises before transitioning to maintenance.
