Chiropractic Adjustments

Dr. Tom Genstil and Dr. Debra Singer at Creekside Chiropractic and Healing Arts in Albany, New York, are experienced providers of chiropractic adjustments. These treatments can be highly personalized and help people recover from all sorts of neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

Chiropractic adjustments are a central part of chiropractic care. They are done by applying controlled force to slightly misaligned joints (also called “subluxated” joints) in the spine and other areas of the body. The goal is to restore proper alignment, improve biomechanical function, and alleviate pain.

When a joint is misaligned, it can lead to issues including soreness, inflammation, and reduced mobility. Chiropractic adjustments work by realigning the spine and other joints, allowing the body to function more efficiently. This process not only helps relieve discomfort but also allows the body to heal naturally.

Before performing a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Genstil  will assess your condition and determine the appropriate technique to use. The adjustment may involve a quick thrust or gentle pressure applied to the affected joint. This process can produce a popping or cracking sound, which is a normal occurrence and indicates the release of gas bubbles from the joint, but gentler options are available for patients if they prefer.

Chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective for individuals of all ages, from infants to seniors. The adjustments are modified to each patient’s needs, ensuring that you receive the most appropriate care for your condition.
