A chiropractic adjustment is when a chiropractor applies with a hand a very precise, low force to a joint that is fixated and not moving properly.

There are many different factors that determine that amount sessions that a patient needs. They include the severity of the condition, whether it is chronic or acute issue, and how the patient responds amongst others.
