The process of correcting subluxations is called an adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments are not necessarily the same thing as manipulations (although some chiropractors may use that term).

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. Generally, the longer a subluxation pattern has been present, the longer it takes to fully correct.

Adjustments are extremely safe, and in the hands of a qualified chiropractor carry much less risk than pain medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, and many common daily activities.

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.

Remember, regardless of the type of doctor or procedure, ultimately it is the body that does the healing. Chiropractic care is a good way to optimise your body's natural ability to adapt and heal.
