Below are some  frequently asked questions: 

What is an Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment with your Shelby Township Chiropractor is the use of a specific force in a precise direction that helps normalize spinal function. The adjustment is applied to a spinal joint that is subluxated. Adjustments help the body to return the bones to a more normal position or motion, restoring proper function and health.

Adjustments help normalize spinal function and avoid bone and soft tissue degeneration. When nervous system function improves in this way, the body can begin the natural healing process.

Is it safe?

YES! Chiropractic adjustments are so safe, even newborns and children receive adjustments to repair the damage caused from the birth process, learning to walk, or other childhood trauma. Each adjustment is tailored to each patient's age, size, and unique spinal problem. After years of training, each doctor has selected a variety of methods and become skilled in their delivery.

Why an adjustment?

A Chiropractic adjustment corrects Vertebral Subluxations.  An adjustment helps your body to restore itself to optimum health!  When the 24 bones that protect the spinal cord lose their normal position or motion, delicate nerve tissue can become choked or irritated. If a thorough examination reveals malfunctioning areas of the spine, chiropractic adjustments are recommended to help correct this condition.
