adjustments
Small corrective changes
Adjustments are changes made to improve, correct, or adapt something.
A mechanic makes adjustments to an engine; a therapist helps with emotional adjustments to new circumstances.
In business, adjustments are modifications to accounts or figures: price adjustments, inventory adjustments.
A period of adjustment is time needed to adapt to changed conditions.
At the chiropractor, adjustments are manual manipulations of the spine.
