Spinal adjustment is a procedure in which chiropractors apply a sudden and controlled force, using their hands or an instrument, to the spinal joints. The main aim of a spinal adjustment is to improve the spinal motion and the physical functions of the body. More than 20 million Americans visit chiropractors annually for spinal adjustments to relieve back, neck, or joint pains. As a result, many insurance companies have added chiropractic care as an additional covered benefit.

The main idea of these questions is to determine whether you need a spinal adjustment or not. Depending upon your symptoms and medical history, he may perform a physical exam. [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#20497b” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”21px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#20497b” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#20497b” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Generally, in any spinal adjustment, you have to lie face down or on your side. The chiropractor may apply heat or an electrical current in case you have muscle tightness to relax your muscles. Then, after getting you in a suitable position, the chiropractor will apply a sudden and controlled force to a particular joint. You might hear cracking or popping noises. These noises are caused due to the air in the fluid surrounding your joints. The chiropractor may also suggest additional treatments such as applying heat or ice, massage, or some stretching exercises.

Although there are very few chances of any serious side effects, you should seek proper guidance and advice from your primary care physician before any treatment if you suffer from any preexisting injury or condition.
