a gentle, manual correction done by hand to allow correction of the vertebral subluxations
a low force, gentle technique used to restore proper position and movement of the spine
a short-lever, high velocity, controlled thrust, by hand or instrument which is directed at a specific articulation in a single motor unit (two vertebrae and the associated nerves, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue)
a short, quick, gentle, and specific force that introduces motion to spinal joints that are not moving properly
a specific and precisely executed manual force directed to a joint, with the objective to restore normal joint and nerve function
a specific force, applied in a specific direction, to a specific joint
a specific force applied in a specific direction to normalize nervous system and spinal dysfunction
a specific maneuver designed to remove interferences in the nervous system and improve spinal function
a specific manipulation of the spinal vertebrae or other areas that have abnormal movement patterns or are not functioning properly
a specific method whereby subluxations are corrected, establishing normal spinal alignment
a specific physical action designed to restore the biomechanics of the vertebral column and indirectly influence neurologic function
a specific, yet gentle, controlled force to an immovable or fixated joint (Subluxation)

This term refers to a wide varity of specific manual interventions that may be high or low velocity; short or long lever; high or low amplitude; with or without recoil. Chiropractic adjustments are directed at specific anatomical regions of the vertebral spine. The purpose of the Chiropractic adjustment is to correct vertebral subluxations which can cause alteration of the biomechanical and physiological dynamics of contiguous spinal structures and manifest neuronal disturbances.
