Adjustment

By applying a specific and precise force in the right direction and at the right time, changes in the position and motion of spinal bones can be made. Most often, this requires a short thrust to a joint that can result in an audible 'pop' and may bring relief of symptoms; some patients report an increased feeling of well-being. The 'pop' is simply the sound of bubbles of gas popping in the fluid of the joint as the pressure is released. Over time this process helps correct abnormal structural and neural patterns. The process of correcting subluxations is called an adjustment. 

The specific techniques chosen will depend on your age, condition and comfort levels. Adjustments can range from the classic dynamic thrust through to very light forces and contacts, along with instrument and table-assisted delivery. CAI chiropractors are highly trained professionals and have a range of techniques to suit individuals from newborn to the elderly. 

The results of chiropractic care are different for every person as each individual is unique. Many people find they have more energy, sleep better, have greater concentration and focus, are more productive, and have a greater ability to resist disease. Normal spinal motion is a requirement for normal brain and nervous system function, so improving spinal function has a positive effect on the human being as a whole.

Chiropractic care is a good way to optimise your body's natural ability to adapt and heal.
