What is a chiropractic adjustment? Do I have to do it?An adjustment is a highly skilled and precise movement usually applied by hand to a joint of the body. Adjustments free up the joint to restore proper movement and optimize function. They are quick movements that sometimes cause a 'popping' or 'cracking' sound called a cavitation. The sound is simply gas being released from the joint, just like opening a can of pop. Chiropractic adjustments have extensive research. Complications are rare and side-effects, such as temporary soreness, are usually minor. Your chiropractor will determine if your problem will respond to chiropractic care or if you require referral to another health care provider. If you are not comfortable with adjustments, there are plenty of other types of treatments that your chiropractor can do.
