3. What Is an Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment, or spinal manipulation, is a procedure in
which a specific force is applied at a precise location and direction
to a joint that is restricted, or not moving properly. The purpose
is to restore normal joint motion, which often results in decreased
pain through improved spinal function, improved nervous system function,
and improved health. Drs. Ezgur and DiDomenico have become highly
skilled in several different adjusting techniques, and will select
the one most appropriate for your condition, in order to provide gentle,
safe, and effective results. For more information about spinal manipulation,
see our sections on
"Spinal Manipulation" and
