- Hair StraighteningChiropractic adjustments involve the application of a quick but gentle corrective force into the "subluxated" spinal vertebrae. The adjustment can be delivered manually through the hands or can be applied through the use of a specialized tool. Subluxations generally require multiple treatments or adjustments for complete normalization to occur. Similar to straightening teeth, correcting malfunctioning and malaligned vertebrae requires time for the tissues to accept this new position as "normal".
- Chiropractic AdjustmentsNo, not at all. Chiropractic specifically deals with the spinal column, nervous system, meninges and body structure, biomechanics, alignment, joint function, and overall performance of your system and when you receive a chiropractic adjustment in our office - it is like having your computer updated and then rebooted.

- Manipulation TherapyIn basic terms, the spinal adjustment or spinal manipulation refers to the process in which the doctor of chiropractic skillfully applies controlled force into one or more "subluxated" vertebrae of the spine.
