The most common therapeutic procedure performed by Dr. Martin are chiropractic spinal adjustments. The intention of a spinal adjustment is the use of the hands to re-establish joint mobility, and nerve irritation. A chiropractic adjustment is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort. In fact, getting adjusted is often a pleasurable experience and most patients note positive changes in their symptoms immediately following an adjustment. Fine-tuning misaligned vertebrae with chiropractic adjustments restores proper spinal mobility. This alleviates pain and muscle tension, and allows the surrounding tissues to heal properly.
