“Chiropractic Glossary —Adjustment”
About Adjustment:
A technique provided by a chiropractor to remove subluxation. This works as a trigger of the curative process.
The therapy uses a treatment to correct only one area of the upper cervical vertebrae, but does not involve manually straightening of misalignment of the spinal column or the pelvis.
This technique is applied to remove the root of illnesses that blocks the flow of natural (innate) healing powers. It does not involve bone cracking to directly correct misalignment; so it is an adjustment, not a symptomatic treatment.
The human body has an innate ability to cure illnesses and nurse injuries. Once the adjustment is completed, the brain is able to utilize its ability to send necessary information all over the body in order to maintain good bodily condition, thus getting rid of distressing symptoms.
Also, general condition of the body will gradually improve and you will regain your health.
Distortions of the whole bone structure will improve in proportion to the overall improvement of the physical condition any. This includes correction of pelvic misalignment and facial distortions.
All these effects are based on the application of adjustment of just the upper cervical vertebrae. You can see an explanation of this by looking at the page with Facial Distortions and Changes in The Sole of the Foot.
