What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment—also called spinal manipulation—is a precise, hands-on technique used to correct misalignments in the spine (known as subluxations). These small misalignments may interrupt nerve function, cause muscle tension, limit mobility, and contribute to chronic pain or discomfort. At Portland Chiropractic, adjustments are delivered using controlled, gentle force to specific spinal or extremity joints, with techniques tailored to your body and comfort level.

Hands-On Techniques: Direct manipulation targeted to individual vertebrae or joints
Instrument-Assisted Methods: Employing low-force devices for sensitive patients
Table-Assisted Adjustments: Special drop-tables that provide accuracy with minimal force
Extremity Adjusting: Treating shoulders, knees, wrists, ankles in addition to the spine

Every patient’s care plan is custom-designed following an in-depth assessment, and may involve a blend of these techniques for optimal results. Want to know more about assessing your spinal health? Visit our page on chiropractic examinations in Whittington.

Conditions Commonly Helped by Chiropractic Adjustments

Back Pain: Upper, middle, and lower back issues are among the most frequent concerns
Neck Pain and Stiffness: Restores movement and eases tension
Headaches & Migraines: Especially those linked to neck/spinal tension
Sciatica & Leg Pain: Alleviates nerve compression and radiating pain
Postural Issues: Correction of slumping, forward head posture, or uneven shoulders
Joint Pain: Shoulders, hips, knees, wrists, and other extremities
Sports Injuries & Whiplash: Gradual rehabilitation and prevention of future injury
Stiffness & Reduced Mobility: Enhanced flexibility and daily function

Many patients also report better sleep, less stress, and more energy after beginning chiropractic adjustment care. Chiropractic can be safely combined with therapies like SoftWave Shock Therapy or Trigger Point Injections for comprehensive improvement.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Work: The Science Behind the Relief

When part of your spine is out of alignment, it can irritate nearby nerves, limit joint mobility, and disturb the communication between your brain and your body. A chiropractic adjustment aims to gently reposition the vertebra, taking pressure off of affected nerves, and supporting the efficient function of the surrounding muscles and tissues.

Nervous System Support:
- Reduces nerve impingement for better brain-body communication
- May reduce referred pain (e.g., leg pain originating from the lower back)
Muscle and Joint Relief:
- Releases tightness, spasms, and tension in surrounding tissues
- Restores healthy range of motion
Improved Blood Flow and Healing:
- Encourages natural reparative processes in the spine and joints

This treatment is non-invasive and drug-free, making it especially appealing for individuals seeking natural, long-term solutions to pain and movement restrictions. If you have questions about the safety of spinal adjustment, we recommend our thorough chiropractic examination and, when indicated, chiropractic x-ray examination for extra clarity.
