Vertebrae which lose their normal position or proper motion are commonly termed vertebral subluxations. Spinal adjustments or spinal manipulation is the process of applying a quick but gentle pressure to "subluxated" vertebrae in a corrective manner.
Most people think of the benefits of chiropractic care only in terms of the physical re-alignment.
Adjusting provides an immediate increase in joint range of motion and also supplies the joint with nutrients, as motion is the only way to bring nutrients into the joint cartilage and flush wastes products out. Better nutrient supply means better healing.
