Chiropractic Adjustments
in Bellingham, WA

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, are one of our core services. 

When we perform an adjustment, we're applying a controlled, sudden force to a specific joint, usually in the spine. We might use our hands or a small instrument to do this. You might hear a popping sound - that's just gas being released from the joint, like when you crack your knuckles.

The goal of these adjustments is to improve the function of your joints and nervous system. You see, when your spine isn't properly aligned, it can put pressure on the nerves that run through it. This can cause pain, not just in your back, but in other parts of your body too.

By adjusting your spine, we aim to:

1. Reduce pain and discomfort
2. Increase your range of motion
3. Improve your body's overall function

We don't just adjust your spine randomly. Before we do anything, we'll perform a thorough examination to determine exactly where the problems are. We'll also talk with you about your symptoms and health history.

Adjustments are usually not painful, though you might feel a bit of pressure. Some patients feel immediate relief, while others might need a series of treatments to see significant improvements.

It's important to note that chiropractic care isn't just about treating pain. Many of our patients come to us for regular adjustments as part of their overall wellness routine, kind of like how you might go to the gym regularly to stay fit.
