Chiropractic Adjustment
mayoclinic.org
"Chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which trained specialists (chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is to correct structural alignment and improve your body's physical function."
What is a Subluxation and What Does it Do to Me?
"In simplest terms, a subluxation
(a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when
one or more of the bones of your spine
(vertebrae) move out of position and
create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves.
Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves.
How does this affect you? Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly.
It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting subluxations."

Wellness Therapies: Chiropractic Therapy
"The Activator Method has undergone clinical trials that demonstrate its efficiency. Dr. Weil has found these low force treatments to be reliable and safe, and recommends them to his patients, particularly for use in the pediatric population and in the elderly."
Activator Method Chiropractic Technique
"The instrument is so quick that the body's muscles are less likely to tense in response and resist the treatment."
"The applied force is localized and does not add any additional torque or bending movement to the joint."

The Importance of Alignment
Your spine is made up of individual bones called vertebrae. These bones protect the spinal column and allow your body to move and bend in the ways you need it to throughout your day.
To be healthy, it is essential that your nervous system function properly and free from any interference caused by subluxations (see What is a Sublaxation and What Does it Do to Me?) Subluxations can interfere with the nervous system at any point along the spine where the nerves exit. This can cause miscommunication between your nervous system and the rest of your body. This can negatively affect the function of various parts of your body, and ultimately your health.
Your spine is central to everything your body does and experiences. A healthy, well-supported spine goes the distance to support overall wellness.
