Gentle chiropractic adjustment
A short, controlled movement made by hand at one joint of the spine. It is for adults who prefer low-force care, seated or on a table that adjusts to their height.
When an adjustment includes the neck, there are rare but serious risks, and the doctor explains them before you start.

We talk first about how you feel and what you want to be able to do
The doctor checks your posture, how you walk and how your spine moves
They explain what was found and what they propose, with the risks
They make the adjustment only if you agree
You can ask us to stop at any time
Good to know
How long and how often
An adjustment visit is usually short. The doctor proposes a plan after the exam and reviews it with you at each visit; there is no set number.
What we do not promise
We do not promise results or that any symptom will go away. Every person responds differently.
When to see a doctor first
If you had a recent fall, a fever, or a new and severe pain, see your doctor first. The chiropractor may also ask you to.
How it is paid
Medicare covers only manual adjustment of the spine. Other services depend on your plan. We tell you the cost before we start.

Questions about this service
Do I have to lie down?
Not always. The adjustment can be done seated or on a table that raises and lowers. Tell the doctor what is most comfortable for you.
Will I hear a popping sound?
Sometimes. It is normal and does not always happen. If you prefer less force, ask about the instrument adjustment.
Can a family member come with me?
Yes, for the whole visit.
