Chiropractic FAQs
A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is when a controlled sudden force is applied to a joint by a chiropractor using their hands or a small instrument. These adjustments improve spinal and joint range of motion, while also having the ability to decrease surrounding muscle and nerve tension, and improve overall body function.

This treatment modality uses phototherapy to promote faster healing of the body by using a specific kind of light to penetrate the surface of the skin and the underlying tissues. This stimulates the body’s natural repair process which results in accelerated recovery while reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation of affected tissues.
