You cannot effectively adjust yourself.
- Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force, applied in a specific
direction, to a specific spinal joint, it is virtually impossible to adjust oneself.
- It is possible to turn or bend or twist in certain ways to create a
"popping" sound, like the sound that sometimes accompanies a chiropractic
adjustment. Unfortunately, this type of joint manipulation is usually
counterproductive, often making an already unstable area of the spine even more
unsteady. Adjusting the spine is not for amateurs!
- The best way to enjoy the healthful benefits of chiropractic is to receive
adjustments from a Doctor of Chiropractic. Even your doctor must seek out the
services of another colleague to help restore and maintain proper spinal function.
