Every chiropractic adjustment is tailored to suit the patient The adjustment is a complex process whilst looking very simple. It has extraordinary variations, involving the use of specific force in a precise direction. The adjustment involves the doctor of chiropractic making changes to the function of the joints and muscles by using their hands or a specifically designed instrument. By improving function the doctor of chiropractic can assist in the relief of pain and improve general health. There are hundreds of ways to adjust the spine and other regions of the body. The variations involve the patient, type of complaint, the practitioner, position of the doctor of chiropractic or the patient, the area to be adjusted, the force of the thrust (soft or strong). There are approximately over 300 systems of adjustment that have been developed over the years. The treatment plan can be interpreted by any Doctor of chiropractic to give the standard adjustment, but it is the individual practitioner that fine tunes the adjustive programme.
