Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force, applied in a
specific direction, to a specific spinal joint, it is virtually
impossible to adjust oneself.
It is possible to turn or bend or twist in certain ways to create a
"popping" sound, like the sound that sometimes accompanies a
chiropractic adjustment. Unfortunately, this type of joint manipulation
is usually counterproductive, often making an already unstable area of
the spine even more unsteady. Adjusting the spine is not for amateurs!
The best way to enjoy the healthful benefits of chiropractic is to
receive adjustments from a Doctor of Chiropractic. Even your doctor
must seek out the services of another colleague to help restore and
maintain proper spinal function.
