Spinal adjustment

For the generic approach to manipulation of spinal joints, see Spinal manipulation.

Spinal adjustment and chiropractic adjustment are terms used by chiropractors to describe their approaches to spinal manipulation, as well as some osteopaths, who use the term adjustment. Research has shown that chiropractic care is effective for musculoskeletal conditions.[1][2][3][4] However, claims about treating non-musculoskeletal conditions are not supported by evidence.[5]

Spinal adjustments were among many chiropractic techniques invented in the 19th century by Daniel David Palmer, the founder of chiropractic.[6] Claims made for the benefits of spinal adjustments range from temporary, palliative (pain relieving) effects to long term wellness and preventive care.
