There is care without hearing your bones pop if that is the treatment you are looking for. This is usually defined as mobilization, where the joint is oscillated within the natural active/passive ranges of motion. This keeps the movement of the joint in good function. Chiropractic Adjustments/Manipulations: The International Chiropractors Association
holds that the chiropractic spinal adjustment be defined as a "specific
directional thrust that sets a vertebra into motion with the intent to
improve or correct vertebral malposition or to improve its juxtaposition
segmentally in relationship to its articular mates thus reducing or correcting
the neuroforaminal / neural canal encroachment factors inherent in the
chiropractic vertebral subluxation complex." |
