WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?


All chiropractic adjustments are designed to improve the communication of the brain and the nervous system, so that your body works better.

This is because the most important thing in your body is your brain and nervous system, as it controls the function of every single cell, organ and gland.

At GOchiropractic, we address all 3 aspects of health: chemical, mental/emotional as well as physical 

A chiropractic adjustment is the skill of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is fixated, “locked up”, or not moving properly. This adds motion to the joint, helping the joints to gradually regain more normal motion and function. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is to permit improved spinal function, improved nervous system function, and improved health.

There are many ways to adjust the spine. Most often Vanessa uses her hands or a specially designed instrument to deliver a brief and highly-accurate stimulus. Some adjusting methods are quick, whereas others require a slow, constant or indirect pressure.

After 4 years of university training and over 21 years clinical experience, Vanessa is highly skilled in the delivery of a variety of adjusting approaches, and making every visit life-enhancing.
