Commonly known as an adjustment, chiropractic manipulation works by releasing restricted joints in your body, allowing for proper motion and shared stress.

Along with restoring proper joint motion, chiropractic adjustments relax the surrounding musculature and help relieve pain.

  • Children and teens
  • Pregnant and postpartum patients

What is Chiropractic Care?

A surprisingly common source of back and neck pain isn't injury or strain; it's restricted movement in the spinal joints. When one segment of the spine becomes limited in its mobility, neighboring segments are forced to pick up the slack by moving more than they should.

Consider this: if your mid and upper back have become rigid, the vertebrae in your neck will compensate by carrying a greater share of your range of motion. Left uncorrected, that added demand creates instability over time, and instability leads to pain, dysfunction, and a gradual decline in how well your spine performs.

Chiropractic care works by restoring lost motion through targeted, controlled adjustments that bring the spine and surrounding joints back into proper balance. These hands-on techniques correct disc and joint imbalances, allowing the body to move the way it was designed to. 

Because the approach is entirely natural and noninvasive, it works with your body's own healing capacity, improving comfort, flexibility, and range of motion without relying on medications or aggressive interventions.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe? 

Absolutely. Chiropractic care has earned the trust of patients and practitioners worldwide, and for good reason; it's one of the safest forms of healthcare available. 

The techniques are gentle enough to be appropriate for virtually every stage of life, from newborns and young children to pregnant women and older adults. There are no drugs involved, no surgical risks, and no recovery downtime. Instead, care is focused on supporting the body's natural ability to heal musculoskeletal and spinal conditions from the inside out.

Regular chiropractic care builds a stronger, more resilient foundation, one that keeps you moving, active, and doing the things that matter most to you.


Does Chiropractic Care Hurt?

For the vast majority of patients, chiropractic adjustments are not only painless, but they're also genuinely relaxing. 

Some people notice mild muscle soreness in the day or two following a session, which is completely normal and comparable to what you might feel after a solid workout or a therapeutic deep-tissue massage. It's a sign your body is responding and adapting. 

More often than not, patients leave their appointments feeling noticeably better, with less tension, more freedom of movement, and greater overall comfort.

What does the chiropractic adjustment do?

Chiropractic Care Techniques at Skare Spine & Performance

Dr. Nate is trained in several types of chiropractic adjusting and services, including:

Manual Chiropractic Adjustments 

The most widely used chiropractic technique, manual adjustments deliver targeted pressure to specific spinal segments or joints to restore proper alignment, release restrictions, and relieve pain, getting your body moving the way it should. 


Flexion Distraction Adjustments

A gentle, non-surgical technique ideal for low back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica. Using a specialized table, controlled stretching decompresses the spine, reduces nerve pressure, increases disc height, and restores mobility through slow, rhythmic movement. 


McKenzie Method

Also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), the McKenzie Method uses specific, repetitive movements and postural corrections to assess and treat spinal and extremity pain. The focus is on self-treatment, equipping patients with the tools to manage their own recovery, reduce reliance on clinical visits, and resolve pain more quickly.
