Extremity Adjustments

• Extremity adjustments refer to any adjustment that is performed outside of the spine.
• Common examples include:
  • Shoulders
  • Knees
  • Jaws (TMJ)
  • Elbows
  • Wrists
  • Fingers
  • Ribs
  • Hips
  • Ankles
  • Feet
• Adjusting these parts of the body happens similarly as in the spine, except usually with a different force or direction.
• All of these areas of the body have articulating joints and can be mobilized just like the spine.
• You may hear the same kind of “pop” noise that happens with a traditional spinal chiropractic adjustment.
