Chiropractic Adjustments and Manipulation

Chiropractic adjustment, or manipulation, is the minor movement of vertebrae in your spine. This treatment is used to realign any vertebrae that have moved out of place. There are a number of reasons this can happen, such as trauma from a car accident or just everyday activities. If you feel that your vertebrae are out of alignment, call Pestle Chiropractic and Sports Performance to schedule an appointment right away.

An adjustment from your chiropractor utilizes the hands or an instrument to move your vertebrae back into place. This happens through a quick movement and is usually done without any discomfort. If you hear a noise that sounds like the cracking of knuckles, this is called joint cavitation and is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.
