What Is A Chiropractic Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is a targeted, hands-on technique used to help restore proper function to the spine and joints. When vertebrae shift out of position through injury, poor posture, repetitive strain, or everyday stress, it can irritate surrounding nerves and disrupt how your body functions. That irritation is what causes pain. That dysfunction is what leads to bigger problems down the line.

At Backsmart Health Chiropractic, we don’t treat symptoms in isolation. We find where the problem is actually coming from, work to treat it at the source, and build a plan that supports your body working back towards normal function. No guesswork. No generic protocols. Every adjustment Dr. King performs is precise, and purposeful to help give your body its best chance to heal.

The goal isn’t just to get you feeling better today. It’s to help you improve your quality of life. If pain is interrupting your day, same-day chiropractic appointments may be available so you can get evaluated quickly!

Our Approach To Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care at Backsmart Health Chiropractic starts with listening, examination, and clear explanation before treatment begins. Dr. Gregory King reviews your symptoms, lifestyle, injury history, and clinical findings to understand why pain is happening. When needed, diagnostic imaging can be used in-house to support the evaluation. Care plans are built around your body, goals, and comfort level, not a standard adjustment routine. Dr. King uses Zone Technique as part of his approach and explains what he finds, what it means, and what care may look like. Most patients feel relief early on with proper treatment.

Common Questions About Chiropractic Adjustments

Will the adjustment hurt?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during an adjustment and many feel immediate relief. Some soreness in the hours following a first adjustment is normal, similar to how muscles feel after a good workout. Dr. King will always adjust his technique to your comfort level and explain what to expect before and after your visit.

What is that popping sound during an adjustment?

The sound is simply the release of gas pressure from within the joint — not bones cracking, and not anything to be concerned about. It’s a normal part of the adjustment process.

How long does a chiropractic adjustment take?

Your first visit will run longer, typically 45 to 60 minutes, to allow time for a full consultation and examination. Ongoing adjustment visits are typically 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your care plan.

Can I Feel Relief After One Chiropractic Adjustment?

That depends on your specific condition, how long you’ve had it, and how your body responds to care. Many patients feel significant improvement early on with proper treatment. Dr. King will give you a clear, realistic timeline at your first visit and he’ll re-evaluate your progress as your plan develops.

Is chiropractic safe?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments have an excellent safety record and are one of the most researched forms of conservative care for musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. King has performed over 1,000,000 adjustments during his 30+ years in practice, and he tailors every treatment to each patient’s clinical findings, age, condition, and comfort level.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required. You can call us directly or book online. Dr. King will evaluate your case personally and determine whether chiropractic care is the right fit for your situation.

What if chiropractic isn't right for my condition?

If Dr. King determines that chiropractic care isn’t the best solution for what you’re dealing with, he’ll tell you and he’ll refer you to the appropriate specialist. He’s built relationships with physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and neurologists throughout the area over nearly 30 years, and coordinating care is something he takes seriously.
