There is much confusion as to what a chiropractic adjustment is and how it feels. An adjustment is what a chiropractor does to restore movement and alignment within the spinal column. In order to do this, pressure is placed on certain points of the vertebrae. With gentle chiropractic, the pressure necessary to facilitate a change does not need to be jerky or rough. With the use of special chiropractic tables, adjusting instruments and proper positioning, the adjustment is made easily and does not hurt.
