What are chiropractic adjustments?
A chiropractic adjustment is a hands-on technique performed by a licensed chiropractor to improve spinal alignment, alleviate pain, and enhance bodily function. During an adjustment, the chiropractor applies controlled force to a specific joint in your spine or other areas, targeting any misalignments (also known as subluxations) that may be causing discomfort or restricted movement. The aim is to restore proper alignment, improve joint mobility, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Different Chiropractic Adjustment Techniques
At Vertebros Chiropractic, we recognize that no two individuals are the same. That’s why we offer a variety of adjustment techniques that can be adapted to fit different needs, preferences, and age groups. Here are a few commonly used methods:
​
-
Diversified Technique: One of the most popular and widely practiced techniques, it involves quick, specific manual thrusts to restore alignment and improve joint function.
-
Gonstead Technique: Known for its precision, this technique focuses on a detailed analysis of spinal misalignments, allowing for targeted, gentle adjustments.
-
Thompson Drop-Table Technique: This involves a specially designed table with drop sections that move slightly with each thrust, enhancing the impact of the adjustment with minimal force.
-
Flexion-Distraction Technique: A gentle approach that involves slow, controlled stretching of the spine, often used for patients with herniated discs or sciatica.​
​
Each method is chosen based on the individual’s condition, health goals, and comfort level. Our chiropractors at Vertebros Chiropractic are trained to provide care that aligns with your specific needs.
