What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?
Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, are precise, controlled movements performed by licensed chiropractors to correct misalignments in the spine and joints. These misalignments, often called subluxations, can disrupt nerve function, cause pain, and limit your body’s ability to heal itself. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments help reduce pain, enhance mobility, and promote natural healing.
How Chiropractic Adjustments Work
- A chiropractor applies a quick, targeted force to a specific joint, usually the spine, using their hands or a specialized instrument.
- This technique realigns the joint, relieves pressure on nerves, and improves overall function.
- Adjustments are tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and health needs, ensuring safe and effective results.
Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to health, focusing on the root causes of discomfort rather than just masking symptoms. Here’s how chiropractic adjustments can benefit you:
- Pain Relief: Effective for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint discomfort.
- Improved Mobility: Restores range of motion and flexibility, making everyday movements easier.
- Reduced Inflammation: Helps decrease swelling and muscle tension, supporting faster recovery.
- Better Posture: Corrects spinal misalignments that contribute to poor posture and related pain.
- Drug-Free Healing: Minimizes reliance on pain medications and their potential side effects.
- Enhanced Nervous System Function: Supports optimal communication between your brain and body for better health.
- Prevention of Future Injuries: Regular adjustments can help maintain alignment and prevent recurring issues.

Types of Chiropractic Adjustment Techniques Used at Cortes Chiropractic
At Cortes Chiropractic, we use a range of adjustment techniques tailored to your unique needs—each designed to safely restore joint function, reduce pain, and enhance mobility:
- Diversified Technique (Direct Thrust): A widely used method involving quick, controlled manual thrusts that realign the spine and joints, often producing a “popping” sound.
- Gonstead Technique: Uses detailed analysis (X-rays, palpation) to deliver precise spinal adjustments, especially effective for spinal and pelvic misalignments.
- Thompson Drop Technique: Involves a specialized table that gently drops during adjustments, reducing force and making it ideal for sensitive conditions like sciatica.
- Flexion-Distraction (Cox Technic): A gentle technique using a special table to stretch and flex the spine, relieving pressure from discs and nerves.
- Activator Method: A spring-loaded device delivers quick, low-force impulses for gentle adjustments—great for patients with arthritis or osteoporosis.
- Spinal Mobilization: Involves slow, controlled movements to improve joint function without the force of manual thrusts.
- Extremity Adjusting: Targets joints outside the spine—shoulders, wrists, hips, knees—to relieve pain and improve mobility.
- Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT): Uses wedge-shaped blocks to realign the pelvis and support lower back function.
Each method is chosen based on your condition and comfort level, ensuring a personalized care experience.
