This provides mobility to the joint and makes these joints gradually regain their normal mobility and function. It is a safe and natural procedure, the objective of which is to improve the spinal function, the functioning, and the health of the nervous system.

During chiropractic adjustment

In a chiropractic treatment, the chiropractor places you in specific positions to treat the affected areas. Generally, you lie face down on a custom, padded stretcher with a specific design. The chiropractor applies sudden and controlled force with the hands-on joint to push it out of its usual range of motion. You may hear popping, cracking, or what is commonly a "rabbit" as the chiropractor moves the joints in the treatment session.
