Spinal adjustments are the foundation of chiropractic care. When vertebrae shift out of alignment — a condition known as subluxation — they can compress nerves, restrict movement, and cause pain that radiates throughout the body. Our adjustments correct these misalignments with controlled, targeted force.
At Summit Spine & Wellness, we use a variety of adjustment techniques including Diversified, Thompson Drop, and Activator methods. During your first visit, we assess your spine through physical examination and, when necessary, digital imaging to identify the precise segments that need attention.
Most patients notice improvement after their first adjustment, though lasting correction typically requires a series of visits. We develop a treatment schedule based on the severity of your misalignment, your body's response to care, and your personal health goals.
Regular spinal adjustments don't just address existing pain — they help maintain nervous system function, improve range of motion, and support your body's natural healing processes. Many of our patients continue with periodic maintenance adjustments long after their initial symptoms resolve.
