Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a safe, non-invasive way to restore movement, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural ability to heal. When joints in the spine or other areas of the body become restricted due to injury, poor posture, or repetitive stress, they can create tension, inflammation, and nerve irritation. Chiropractic adjustments use gentle, controlled force to restore proper alignment and mobility to these joints, helping to reduce discomfort and improve overall function.
At Core Chiropractic in Waukee, we take a personalized approach to each adjustment. Our goal is not only to alleviate your symptoms but to address the root cause of your discomfort and help you maintain long-term health. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply looking to move and feel better, chiropractic adjustments can be a foundational part of your wellness journey.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Work – What to Expect at Core Chiropractic
Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth chiropractic adjustment, we walk you through every step so you feel confident, comfortable, and cared for.
During a chiropractic adjustment at Core Chiropractic in Waukee, we use precise, gentle pressure to restore proper movement to joints that aren’t moving as they should, often in the spine, but sometimes in the shoulders, hips, or other areas. You may hear or feel a small “pop” during the adjustment, which is totally normal. That sound is simply gas releasing from the joint space (like when you crack your knuckles), and it means pressure is being relieved and motion is being restored.
Most patients describe the adjustment as quick, comfortable, and relieving. Right after the adjustment, it’s common to feel looser, lighter, or like you can move more freely. Some people feel immediate pain relief, while others notice more gradual improvement over the next day or two. Our goal is to reduce tension on your nerves, improve alignment, and help your body function better, without drugs or invasive treatments.
