Is a Spinal Adjustment Right for You?

Spinal adjustments at ALTUS Chiropractic & Physiotherapy are designed to gently restore motion to restricted joints, reduce pain, and support healthier movement patterns. Your chiropractor starts with a focused assessment to understand how your spine moves, what’s causing discomfort, and which techniques align best with your goals. Treatments are always tailored to your comfort level and may be combined with soft tissue therapy, exercise guidance, or lifestyle recommendations to support long-term results. To better understand how spinal adjustments fit within our broader treatment approach, visit our Chiropractic Care in Abbotsford page.

When Spinal Adjustments May Help

Many people consider spinal adjustments when pain or stiffness begins to affect their daily movement or comfort. These are some of the most common situations where an adjustment may be recommended:

  • Ongoing neck or back pain
  • Stiffness or reduced mobility
  • Headaches linked to tension or posture
  • Sciatica or nerve irritation
  • Joint restrictions from stress, posture, or injury

What to Expect During a Spinal Adjustment

A spinal adjustment is a quick, controlled movement applied to a specific joint to help restore normal motion. Your chiropractor will guide you through every step, explain what to expect, and ensure you’re comfortable before any treatment begins. Most patients experience relief, easier movement, or reduced tension shortly after their session.

  • Definitely increased my quality of daily life.

    I have attended Dr. Darell Munro for more than ten years. I have been involved in motor vehicle accidents causing neck and back injuries. My neck stiffness causes migraine headaches, less quality sleep, and tiredness. Dr. Munro’s treatment of my neck and back has relieved all my pain and I can perform better throughout my days and nights. I can honestly say I would recommend this Doctor for his professional advice and services.

  • Able to get back to normal, free from pain.

    I had such awful back pain that I literally could not get out of bed. After appointments and monthly “‘tune-ups” with Dr. Munro, I can continue lifting heavy pavers and Allan blocks in landscaping, even at the age of 62. If you are seeking relief from back pain I highly recommend that you schedule an appointment with Dr. Munro.

  • Allowed me to fulfill a dream at the age of 74.

    By attending my regular monthly chiropractic treatments I am in control of my upper back and shoulder pain. This has allowed me to fulfill a dream. At the age of 74, I participated in a 3-day cattle drive in the summer of 2009.

Frequently Asked Questions

When performed by a licensed chiropractor on an appropriate patient, spinal adjustments are generally considered safe. Serious complications are rare, and your chiropractor will review your health history, perform an exam, and rule out red flags before recommending treatment.

That sound usually comes from changes in pressure inside the joint, causing tiny gas bubbles in the joint fluid to form or release which is a normal process called cavitation. It isn’t your bones “rubbing” or “cracking,” and not every effective adjustment makes this sound.

Some people notice easier movement or less tension right after their first visit, while others improve gradually over several sessions. Your results depend on factors like how long the issue has been present, your overall health, and how closely you follow home-care and exercise recommendations.

In most cases, no. Current guidelines recommend using X-rays only when there is a clear clinical reason such as recent trauma, suspected underlying disease, or when imaging would change your care plan. Your chiropractor will let you know if imaging is needed based on your history and exam.
