Ever wonder what exactly happens with a Chiropractic adjustment? Local tacoma chiropractor Dr. Vince Leone explains in detail some of the different things you should know.
What is an adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments usually involve a quick thrust that helps add motion to restricted spinal segments that aren’t moving properly. Some methods use the doctor’s hands, an instrument, a special table, or the force of gravity. There are many ways to adjust a spine.
Are adjustments safe?
Yes. A New Zealand study concluded they are “remarkably safe.” By avoiding drugs and surgery, chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record, that’s why their malpractice insurance is so low.
Adjustments are proven to be 100 times safer than an over the counter pain reliever.
