Chiropractic adjustments are safe, gentle, and effective movements of your joints by the chiropractors hand or an adjusting tool, performed for the purpose of restoring normal position and movement of those joints.  Once these bones or vertebrae are restored to their proper position and movement, the spinal cord and its nerves are no longer irritated and so can work as they should.  Remember that the nervous system makes EVERYTHING in your body work, once the spine is simply “in line” and no irritation is on the nerves or spinal cord, the body has the ability to be strong, healthy, and if injured… heal.
