A chiropractic adjustment (otherwise known as correction or manipulation) is a highly specific force applied by a chiropractic doctor to the spine or other joints of the body in order to restore balance and motion within the joint. 

​

Due to the close relation of the spine to nerves, this has the effect of relieving nerve pressure to allow proper communication between the brain and the rest of body.

​

There are thousands of ways to adjust the spine, varying from low to higher force techniques in order to cater for all ranges of patients and ages.
