A-Z of Chiropractic: A is for Adjustment


A is for Adjustment

An adjustment is a Chiropractic technique used to restore the function of joints in the body. This reduces inflammation and helps to increase flexibility. The first Chiropractic Adjustment was administered in 1895. 

Daniel David Palmer of Iowa performed the first chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who then mentioned a few days later to Palmer that his hearing seemed better. 

There are many different types of adjustments designed to suit everyone from new born babies to the elderly. Most patients find having an adjustment a very relaxing experience.
