Spinal Adjustments & Chiropractic Manipulation

Restore alignment. Reduce pain. Reclaim your movement.

At Crater Chiropractic, spinal adjustments and chiropractic manipulation are core to how we help patients feel and function better. Whether you're living with back pain, recovering from an injury, or looking for better mobility, our Medford chiropractors are here to support your goals with safe, personalized care.

What Is a Spinal Adjustment?

A spinal adjustment is a hands-on chiropractic technique used to realign your spine, restore joint motion, and reduce pressure on your nervous system. Our chiropractors use gentle, targeted movements to help your body function at its best.

This technique is effective for a variety of conditions:

  • Back pain & stiffness

  • Neck tension

  • Sciatica

  • Headaches & migraines

  • Poor posture

  • Joint discomfort

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, chiropractic adjustments may be the missing piece in your wellness routine. Many of our patients are surprised at how much better they feel—physically and mentally—once proper alignment is restored. Whether you’re dealing with chronic discomfort or a recent injury, spinal manipulation offers a natural, effective path toward healing and long-term relief.

Why Spinal Alignment Matters

When your spine is out of alignment, it can affect how your entire body feels and performs. Over time, this misalignment can lead to pain, fatigue, and restricted movement.

Chiropractic adjustments help:

  • Reduce nerve irritation

  • Improve flexibility

  • Relieve joint pressure

  • Support faster recovery

  • Enhance your overall balance and posture

Even small improvements in spinal alignment can create noticeable, lasting changes in how you move, rest, and function day to day. That’s why many patients confidently choose regular chiropractic adjustments as part of their ongoing wellness and preventive care routine.

Benefits of Spinal Adjustments

When your spine is properly aligned, your entire body works more efficiently—and with less pain.

Benefits of Spinal Adjustments

  • Alleviates back and neck pain

  • Reduces frequency of headaches

  • Improves mobility and posture

  • Helps manage stress and tension

  • Enhances performance and recovery

  • Supports long-term spinal health

These benefits make spinal adjustments a powerful tool not only for pain relief, but for maintaining overall wellness and physical resilience. Many patients find that regular chiropractic care helps them stay active, energized, and better equipped to handle the demands of daily life.

Feel Better in Three Simple Steps

  • We begin with a thorough assessment of your spine, posture, and movement. Your chiropractor will ask about your symptoms, perform orthopedic checks, and identify any areas of restriction or imbalance. This step ensures your treatment is tailored specifically to your needs.

  • Once we understand what your body needs, we perform a gentle, precise spinal adjustment. This realigns your joints, relieves pressure on nerves, and restores proper motion—often with a quick, targeted movement. Some patients feel instant relief, while others notice improvements over a few sessions.

  • Many patients walk out feeling lighter, looser, and more at ease. Your chiropractor may provide follow-up tips like stretches, posture corrections, or hydration reminders to help you stay aligned and feel your best between visits.
