What is Chiropractic Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation or spinal adjustment, is a common treatment technique employed by chiropractors. It involves applying controlled and sudden force to a joint, typically in the spine, with the goal of improving joint function, reducing pain, and promoting overall health.

Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and certain musculoskeletal issues. During a chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractor applies a manual thrust or pressure to the targeted joint, usually using their hands or specialized instruments. They are often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may also include Functional Movement Screen & Posture analysis, Exercise Optimization, and Ultrasound-guided Joint & Tissues Analysis.

Functional Movement Screen & Posture analysis

Functional Movement Screen and Posture analysis are valuable tools used to assess and evaluate an individual's movement patterns and postural alignment. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool that identifies any movement dysfunctions or imbalances that may predispose individuals to injuries. It involves a series of tests to evaluate mobility, stability, and motor control. Posture analysis, on the other hand, examines the alignment and positioning of the body in various positions. It helps identify any deviations or imbalances that may contribute to pain or dysfunction.
