Chiropractors find minor misalignments in the spine called subluxations using various techniques including x-ray, palpation (manually feeling misalignments), how a person moves (range of motion), posture observation and propreoceptive feedback tests. Once a subluxation has been identified, the chiropractor then delivers a safe and gentle adjustment. This adjustment can be delivered a number of different ways but all of them are designed to place the subluxated bone back into proper alignment.
