The primary treatment we offer is the chiropractic adjustment. When done by a Doctor of Chiropractic, adjustments are safe and almost always pain-free. The chiropractic adjustments improve your flexibility, eliminate stiffness, improve the posture and get you out of pain FAST. After a chiropractic adjustment, you'll feel better, move better and function better! In addition to providing adjustments to the spine and pelvis/sacrum, we also adjust the lower extremity (legs, feet/ankles), upper extremity (shoulders, arms, wrists/hands), ribs, and the TMJ (jaw).

The ICA holds that the chiropractic spinal adjustment is "unique and singular to the chiropractic profession." The chiropractic adjustment shall be defined as a specific directional thrust that sets a vertebra into motion with the intent to improve or correct vertebral malposition or to improve its juxtaposition segmentally in relationship to its articular mates thus reducing or correcting the neuroforaminal / neural canal encroachment factors inherent in the chiropractic vertebral subluxation complex.

The adjustment is characterized by a specific thrust applied to the vertebra utilizing parts of the vertebra and contiguous structures as levers to directionally correct articular malposition. Adjustment shall be differentiated from spinal manipulation in that the adjustment can only be applied to a vertebral malposition with the express intent to improve or correct the subluxation, whereas any joint, subluxated or not, may be manipulated to mobilize the joint or to put the joint through its range of motion.

Chiropractic is a specialized field in the healing arts, and by prior rights, the spinal adjustment is distinct and singular to the chiropractic profession.
