Chiropractic Adjustments

A Chiropractic Adjustment is the art of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is fixated, "locked up", or not moving properly. This adds motion to the joint, helping the bones gradually return to a more normal position and motion. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is improved spinal function, improved nervous system function, and improved health. There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually, the doctor's hands or a specially designed instrument delivers a brief and highly accurate thrust. Not all patients will qualify or even benefit from Chiropractic Adjustments.

Chiropractors are experts in how your nervous system interacts with the rest of your body. For example, when the brain sends signals to tell your heart to pump blood or tell your legs to walk, it’s sending these signals along the collection of nerves that extend down your spine and through the rest of your body. Through everyday activities, the vertebrae that run along your spine can become misaligned and pinch nerves in the spinal cord, causing pain, disrupting the brain's signals, and preventing your body from responding optimally. Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation, correct these misalignments by applying a precise, controlled force to specific spinal joints to restore proper alignment and movement.

Spinal manipulation reduces pain, relieves muscle tension and tight muscles, and improves range of motion, allowing your nervous system to function at its best. Our chiropractic care also includes soft tissue therapy to address surrounding muscle and joint concerns. Our Fredericton's Health Source Chiropractic team will provide a thorough health assessment of your spinal mobility, alignment, inflammation, and functional movements, then build a customized treatment plan to address the underlying cause of your chronic pain or discomfort, not just the symptoms.
