Chiropractic Adjustments

Expert Care in Chesapeake, Virginia

We offer both traditional chiropractic adjustments and low-force techniques, allowing care to be adapted to your needs and comfort level.

The chiropractic adjustment is the most common treatment used in chiropractic care. It is a passive manual maneuver during which a three-joint complex is gently taken past its normal range of movement, within the joint’s safe limits. Its defining factor is a dynamic thrust — a sudden, controlled force that causes an audible release and works to increase the joint’s range of motion.

For patients who prefer a gentler approach, we also offer low-force techniques such as Arthrostim and Activator, which use a handheld instrument to deliver a precise, low-force impulse to the spine and related tissues without the traditional manual thrust, or popping sound.
