What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

A Chiropractic Adjustment or Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) is when a high velocity, low amplitude thrust is performed at a hypomobile (a stiff or tight) joint. This action may or may not result in a cavitation (the popping or cracking sound). Aka: an adjustment is a fast, low force thrust done at a specifically targeted area.

Adjustments help restore motion and mobility to joints, decrease muscle tension, and increase local blood flow all of which can help to reduce pain!🙌🏻 SMT is an effective therapy when treating not only the neck, mid and low back but for all joints in the body, however; they are not performed on every patient.
