The chiropractic adjustments consist of the application of a specific force in a specific direction, acting on a locked joint or with abnormal mobility. Through this technique it is possible to improve the mobility of the joint and gradually it recovers its complete normality. It is a safe and natural procedure. The main objective is to improve spinal function and the functioning and health of the nervous system.

What do chiropractic adjustments do?
Probably the biggest misunderstanding about chiropractic It has to do with the fit. As is natural, the chiropractors we think the fit is something quite special.
The chiropractors understand that the root cause of many health problems comes from interference in the nervous system that is located throughout the backbonel. This often appears in the form of one or more vertebrae that are locked and do not move correctly. Many believe that a chiropractic adjustment puts the displaced bone back into the proper position in relation to the upper and lower vertebrae.
In reality, bones are static structures; they move when a muscle acts on them. And muscles only contract when ordered by the nervous system. That is why Chiropractic is really a question of the quality of the nervous system, and not of the state of the spine.
It is your body that carries out the real healing. The energy that I provide through adjustment simply helps to accompany the process. I use everything I know about spinal anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to "associate" with your body wisdom. Repetitive visits help re-train the muscles as, over time, your own body can "correct" itself.

- spinal cancer
- Increased risk of suffering a cerebrovascular accident.
- A known bony abnormality in the upper neck.
During chiropractic adjustments, the chiropractor can place us in specific positions to treat the affected areas. Sometimes we must lie face down on a special chiropractic table with an exclusive design. On application of force, the articular surfaces are briefly separated. This produces changes in the pressure of the fluid surrounding the joint. it is the so-called synovial fluid that often gives rise to a gas bubble that breaks. It is the famous crack that follows the movement of the joint. This noise should never be confused or associated with damage or injury.
