I learned in Chiropractic College that spinal adjustment, according to authors Meeker and Halderman, is the one core clinical method that all chiropractors agree upon.

Chiropractic adjustment can only be applied to joints in the spine and correction of misalignment that may occur in that area.

Chiropractic adjustment frees the spine to adjust to its natural position.

The natural state of the body knows how to correct itself once it is free to do so with the help of chiropractic adjustment.

Adjustments can help prevent and treat many conditions such as the following:

Arthritis

Bursitis

Carpal tunnel and other repetitive strain disorders

Chronic muscle pain and stiffness

Headaches

Most sports-related injuries

Nerve disorders

Pain and stiffness in the back, chest, abdomen, neck, hips, and shoulders, as well as arms, legs, and feet

Sciatica pain

Scoliosis

Tendonitis

Whiplash and other traumatic injuries
