Chiropractic Adjustment in Chelsea, NY
Safe, Personalized Spine Care That Gets to the Root of Pain
At Chelsea Chiropractic and Massage, we offer safe, non-invasive chiropractic adjustments that help realign the spine, relieve pressure on nerves, and improve whole-body function. Whether you’re dealing with chronic back pain, headaches, stiffness, or stress-related tension, chiropractic adjustments can support faster healing and long-term wellness—without drugs or surgery. Our gentle, hands-on techniques restore balance to the body so you can move, feel, and live better.
Helping Patients of All Ages Feel Better—Naturally
Chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective for people of all ages—from children with posture-related concerns to older adults with mobility issues. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to prevent future pain, we tailor each treatment to your goals. Our focus is on long-term function, not just temporary relief.
What Is
A Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment—also called spinal manipulation—is a hands-on technique that realigns misaligned joints (especially in the spine) to reduce nerve interference and restore normal motion. Misalignments, or “subluxations,” can lead to pain, stiffness, poor posture, and reduced mobility. By correcting these issues, we support the body’s natural ability to heal and function at its best.
Chiropractic adjustments are often used to treat:
- Low back and neck pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica
- Shoulder and joint discomfort
- Postural problems
- Limited range of motion
What Happens During an Adjustment?
We use precise, controlled force to gently reposition joints and improve alignment. Adjustments are often quick and painless—some patients hear a “pop” or “crack,” which is simply gas releasing from the joint.
Some of the most commonly used techniques include:
- Diversified Technique: Hands-on spinal correction with audible joint release
- Activator Method: A low-force, handheld instrument for targeted adjustments
- Drop Table Technique: Uses gravity-assisted tables for gentle motion
- Flexion-Distraction: A gentle stretching motion often used for disc issues
We tailor each adjustment to your comfort level and health goals.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are widely considered safe when performed by a licensed provider. Side effects are rare and usually mild—such as temporary soreness or fatigue.
We take every precaution to ensure your comfort and safety:
- Licensed, experienced chiropractor
- Gentle, individualized techniques
- Clear communication before and during treatment
- Ongoing monitoring of your progress
Chiropractic care may not be appropriate for individuals with certain spinal injuries, bone disorders, or health conditions—so we conduct a full screening before proceeding with care.
How Often Should You Get Adjusted?
Frequency depends on your condition and goals. Some patients benefit from a few sessions, while others choose ongoing wellness care.
Typical treatment plans may include:
- Initial phase: 1–2 sessions per week to relieve symptoms
- Rehabilitative phase: Weekly or biweekly to restore function
- Maintenance care: Monthly or as needed for long-term balance
We’ll adjust your plan based on your progress and preferences.
