Chiropractic Manipulation
What Is Chiropractic Manipulation?
Chiropractic manipulation, also known as spinal adjustment, is a hands-on technique used to improve spinal motion, reduce pain, and enhance physical function. At Webb Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractors apply controlled, precise pressure to specific areas of the spine and joints to restore proper alignment and relieve tension. This safe, non-invasive approach effectively treats a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint stiffness. By improving spinal health, chiropractic manipulation supports better nervous system function, increases mobility, and promotes your body’s natural ability to heal—helping you move and feel your best every day.
How Does Chiropractic Manipulation Work?
Chiropractic manipulation works by using gentle, controlled movements to realign the spine and restore proper joint function. During an adjustment, your chiropractor will have you lie comfortably on a specialized table while they apply a precise, hands-on technique to specific areas of your spine or joints that are restricted or misaligned. Patients often feel mild pressure or a subtle release—not pain. Despite the common misconception, chiropractic manipulation does not “crack bones.” The popping sound some people hear is simply the release of gas bubbles within the joint, similar to when you crack your knuckles. Each adjustment is tailored to your comfort level, helping to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support overall body balance in a safe and effective way.
