chiropractic adjustments

What is a Chiropractic adjustment? An adjustment is a specific application of force, directed through a specific vertebrae, at the right time and vector, with the appropriate speed, energy, and forces. What does all this mean? It means that an adjustment is more than just a "crack", or a "pop". It is a well calculated and thought out process that, when performed correctly, is an extremely powerful tool to evoke health.

Adjustments may be given in many ways. There are numerous techniques, each with their own analysis and method of administration. Some techniques are more forceful, whereas others are so light, they are barely felt. The two ends of the spectrum house a plethora of techniques from which your Chiropractor will choose to utilize the one(s) appropriate for your situation.

At Lee Chiropractic, we tailor the adjustment to fit the individual needs of each patient. Some people prefer a more forceful adjustment, and can handle it, while others prefer, or require extremely gentle adjustments. Either way, we take our time and custom fit which adjustment, or adjustments, will best suit your needs.

Communication between you and the doctor is immensely important if the adjustment is to fit your needs properly. Your doctor of Chiropractic requires your feedback to let him or her know your comfort level. If it is too light we can accommodate. If it is too forceful or uncomfortable, again, we can accommodate. We pride ourselves in our ability to respect your boundaries, and take care of you as if you were family.

As Chiropractors, it never ceases to amaze us that we can utilize our hands to enhance and facilitate the healing process within us all. No drugs or surgery. Nothing added, nothing removed. Health, pure and simple.
