What is a chiropractic adjustment?

An adjustment is a controlled, hands-on movement of a joint. Dr. Aguilera uses the Diversified technique and manual adjusting, so the work is done by hand rather than with an instrument.

Which problems are adjustments used for?

Dr. Aguilera lists back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, pinched nerves, disc pain, shoulder, hip, elbow and joint pain, carpal tunnel, muscle sprains, numbness and tingling, scoliosis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis and stress among the conditions he treats. Whether an adjustment fits your problem depends on the exam.

What happens before the doctor adjusts?

He asks about your history, examines how you move and explains what he found. Patients say he takes the time to explain. If adjustments are not the right fit, he will say so.

Can I get a massage on the same visit?

Yes. Patients often book an adjustment and a massage together. Ask the office when you call.
