What is an adjustment, and does it hurt?
An adjustment is a highly controlled force applied to areas of the spine. Usually, there is a “poppling” noise heard with the adjustment. This noise is nothing more then gas escaping from a solution as the join is manipulated. The goal of the adjustment is to improve the function of the joint and to positively affect the nervous system. Occasionally, an adjustment can be uncomfortable, but under normal circumstances, it is painless.
