Perhaps the main treatment that most people think of when they hear the word “chiropractor,” an adjustment or spinal manipulation is often associated with cracks and pops. While this makes many people uncomfortable, it is a completely natural and needed process to help the spine grow and heal itself.
When vertebrae are out of place in the spine, several problems can arise, including seemingly permanent aches and pains. This is due to the fact that the spinal cord is pivotal to the proper nerve response, and thus when it is not functioning as well as it should be, neither are you.
Chiropractors use their knowledge of spinal anatomy and function while performing the gentle chiropractic adjustments. These pain-relieving adjustments can help the spine re-align vertebrae that are out of place. Adjustments also help correct nerve responses throughout the body.
