Chiropractors can use many different techniques to “adjust” the spine and extremities. The goal of the adjustment is to move a segment of the spine, pelvis or extremity that is not moving properly. When a segment is not moving properly it can cause pain and make the body more susceptible to injury. Or when an injury occurs a segment may “lock up” to prevent further movement and prevent reinjury. This is a protective response of the body but it can also stay immobile or “stuck” after healing has taken place and pain can result. I have found that when an area of the body is not moving and causing pain, the surrounding musculature and fascia are also involved.
