A adjustment is a safe, holistic procedure whereby a chiropractor moves or manipulates the vertebrae of the spine. This is done to alleviate nerve pressure or irritation to a spinal nerve or area and in global terms impacts the whole nervous system. Spinal adjustments do not hurt and are painless in most cases.
A adjustment is performed when the Chiropractor finds or locates one or more misaligned vertebrae in the spine. Dr. Popkin will usually explain what type of techniques he will use with a patient and why.
