What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment? Understanding the Basics

A chiropractic adjustment—sometimes called spinal manipulation—is a skilled, manual procedure to correct misalignments (subluxations) in the spine or other joints.

• Misalignments (Subluxations):
  • Occur when spinal vertebrae or joints move out of their normal position
  • Can disrupt nerve signals, limit range of motion, and create muscle tension
  • May be caused by stress, injury, poor posture, repetitive use, or inactivity
• Chiropractic Adjustments:
  • Are fast, controlled manual thrusts or gentle instrument-assisted movements
  • Reposition the joint to its correct alignment
  • Restore nerve function and relieve physical stress

This safe, effective approach reduces pain, improves movement, and supports optimal function of your body’s musculoskeletal and nervous system.

• Start with a Comprehensive Chiropractic Examination for accurate assessment and a tailored treatment plan.
• For diagnostic clarity, our Chiropractic X-ray Examination provides in-house imaging and peace of mind.

Who Can Benefit from Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic care is suitable for people of all ages—from children to seniors. Whether you are an athlete, office worker, busy parent, or retiree, you can gain from chiropractic adjustments if you:

• Experience:
  • Back pain (upper, middle, or lower)
  • Neck pain and restricted movement
  • Tension or migraine headaches
  • Sciatica and leg discomfort
  • Shoulder pain, hip stiffness, or other joint problems
  • Poor posture or spinal imbalance
• Are recovering from whiplash, sports injuries, or repetitive strain
• Have postural issues due to technology use or sedentary work

Many patients also report improved energy, better quality sleep, and increased flexibility following regular chiropractic care.

How the Chiropractic Adjustment Process Works

Every new patient at Portland Chiropractic Clinic receives a detailed consultation, case history, and physical exam—and in some cases, X-rays or other tests. This ensures that every adjustment is safe and appropriate for your individual health status.

1. Consultation and Assessment
   • Thorough review of your symptoms, movement, and overall health
   • Identification of the true source of pain, not just surface symptoms
2. Customised Treatment Plan
   • Richard Taylor explains findings and discusses technique options
   • A plan is established for chiropractic adjustment and supporting care
3. Chiropractic Adjustment Session
   • The specific joint or spinal segment is gently adjusted
   • You may hear a harmless “pop” or “click”—just gas releasing from the joint
4. Aftercare Guidance
   • Post-session advice is provided for activity, hydration, and stretching
   • Further treatment (if needed) is scheduled at intervals best for your recovery
