Adjustments/ Manipulation
The term "adjustment" refers to the specific manipulation chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. The objective of the chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxation. Subluxations are what chiropractor correct. When left uncorrected Subluxations result in decreased range of motion, increased nerve irritability and reduced function and efficiency.
The adjustment made by the chiropractor consists of a low force, high velocity, thrust applied to a vertebrae by instrument or hand. The sensation is usually relieving. However, minor discomfort is occassionally reported (that usually lasts for only a short time duration) if the surrounding muscles have been in spasm for a long duration of time.
