A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, hands-on technique used to restore proper motion to joints that aren’t moving as well as they should—especially in the spine. Contrary to popular belief, we’re not “popping bones back into place.” Instead, the goal is to mobilize the joint to reduce tension, improve function, and help your body feel and move better.
Adjustments can relieve pressure on surrounding nerves and muscles, improve function and mobility, and support your body’s natural healing process. Some people hear a “cracking” or “popping” sound during the adjustment, which is simply the release of gas from the joint—similar to when you crack your knuckles.
