What is the treatment of a subluxation?
Chiropractic treatment of a subluxation involves an adjustment. There are many techniques for adjusting, all of which are precise and designed with a specific purpose. Adjustments are usually performed manually, though techniques that involve a hand-held instrument may also be used. Adjustments should never be performed by an unqualified person. In some instances, adjustments are NOT the recommended method of treatment, and only a thorough examination by a professional who is skilled in palpation, adjusting, and physical diagnosis should lead to that conclusion.
