Your spine is made up of many bones referred to as vertebrae. They are connected together by muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and cartilage.
When aligned properly everything works as it should.
The spine supports your body weight and protects your spinal cord — the “highway” of the nervous system.
If improperly aligned it causes stress, therefore causing pain and discomfort.
Chiropractors are trained to assess and correct misalignment through joint manipulation or adjustment.
Joint manipulation involves a quick, safe, and precise amount of pressure applied directly to the problem area.
The popping noise is from joint separation allowing gas to escape.
Adjustments are not painful and most often provide immediate relief.
