What is an adjustment (Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy)?

0

An adjustment or manipulation is the act of putting a gentle force through a restricted joint in an effort to restore normal mobility and function of the joint and sorrounding musculature. The adjustment typically results in a ‘cracking’ or ‘popping’ sound. The joints in your spine contain a fluid called synovial fluid. The brief movement creates a vacuum within the joint, causing some of the dissolved gases in the synovial fluid to come out of solution and form a gas bubble. This creates the audible sound typically heard with an adjustment.
