What an adjustment is for
When a joint in your spine stops moving the way it should, the muscles around it tighten up and the nerves nearby get irritated. Over time other parts of your body start compensating, and that’s often when the pain shows up.
An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement that gets a stuck joint moving again. Dr. Toth uses it with muscle work, exercises and posture changes so the improvement holds, without relying on medication.
