chiropractic adjustment

Back-cracking therapy session

A chiropractic adjustment is a manual manipulation of the spine or joints, typically involving controlled force applied to vertebrae to correct alignment and relieve pain.

Chiropractors perform adjustments to address back pain, neck stiffness, and headaches: The adjustment gave me immediate relief.

The practice remains controversial in mainstream medicine.
