The Art of the Chiropractic Adjustment

The most important part of chiropractic care is the examination of the patient’s spine. It is the basis for determining if intervention is needed and for analyzing the effectiveness of care. One of the primary focuses of our facility  is examining and analyzing the spine.

A chiropractor must select the most appropriate technique for each patient’s unique situation and perform that technique with great skill. Subluxated vertebrae are adjusted through small forces the chiropractor introduces onto the spine. The body then uses these forces in repositioning the vertebrae. The chiropractor has to know as precisely as possible where, when, and in what direction the force should be introduced.

Technique alone however does not comprise the art of chiropractic. As with any art, the art of chiropractic is much more than the mastery of techniques. It embodies and expresses a philosophy. The philosophy is a foundation of concepts that are unique to chiropractic. These concepts are expressed through the art of chiropractic. This provides a rock solid foundation for practicing chiropractic as an exciting expression of a highly research and reasoned philosophy.
