What are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments—also called spinal manipulations—are controlled, precise movements applied to specific joints, most commonly in the spine, but sometimes also in the extremities. Their effects can be understood on several levels:

  • Biomechanical Effects - Restore motion & reduce tension: Freeing restricted joints helps muscles relax, improves posture, and reduces strain.

  • Neurological Effects - Support the nervous system: Adjustments stimulate joint receptors, helping the brain and body better process movement and pain.

  • Circulatory and Soft Tissue Effects - Improve circulation & healing: By restoring mobility, adjustments can boost local blood flow and help the body regulate inflammation.

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps your body heal by restoring movement, strengthening tissues, and working with adjustments to improve function.

  • Personalized Therapeutic Exercise – Tailored movements to strengthen weak areas, restore balance, and improve stability.

  • Mechanical Traction – Gradually stretches the spine to ease pressure on discs and nerves.

  • Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim) – Gentle stimulation to reduce pain and relax muscles.

  • Ultrasound Therapy – Sound waves that promote healing in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

  • Manual Therapy – Hands-on care such as trigger point release and deep tissue mobilization.

  • Heat & Ice Therapy – Reduces inflammation, stiffness, and muscle tension.
