Spinal Adjustments
Gentle, precise manipulations to restore proper alignment and eliminate pain at its source
Restore Balance, Relieve Pain
Spinal adjustments are the cornerstone of chiropractic care. By gently realigning the vertebrae, we relieve pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and help your body heal naturally.
What to Expect
During your first visit, we'll conduct a thorough examination including posture analysis, range of motion testing, and possibly X-rays to understand your unique spinal structure. This helps us create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your body.
The adjustment itself involves applying controlled, precise force to specific areas of your spine. Most patients feel relief and increased mobility. The immediate popping sound you might hear is simply gas releasing from the joint fluid — completely normal and harmless.

How Many Visits Will I Need?
This varies depending on your condition. Acute injuries often respond quickly with just a few visits. Chronic conditions may require more extensive care. Some patients choose to continue with periodic maintenance visits to keep their spine healthy and prevent future problems.

Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe when performed by a trained professional. Dr. Landrum has over 12 years of experience and uses techniques appropriate for each patient's age, condition, and comfort level. We'll always explain everything before proceeding.
