Irregular motion and lack of stability or mobility can interfere with the movement chains of the body, leading to a plethora of issues including the early breakdown of joints or tissues in the body, in addition to poor communication of the nervous system to those areas.

In this way, joints can become restricted causing non-ideal movement biomechanics, further exacerbating your pain.

The Mobility Plus Downtown Seattle Chiropractic Care team utilizes evidence-based chiropractic spinal and extremity adjustments through the Diversified Technique. Generally, this technique employs a gentle pressure or a shallow thrust to restore optimal movement and function at a joint. Sometimes, a chiropractic adjustment can be accompanied by a noise or a popping sound, which is a result of the joint’s release of gas bubble(s).

With a thorough physical examination involving palpation and movement screens, we can determine with certainty if a patient needs a chiropractic adjustment.

A common misconception about adjustments is that they only pertain to the spine. This is not true. We can manipulate any joint throughout the body. So regardless of where you may be feeling pain, you could benefit from a chiropractic adjustment.
