Adjustments

No, you cannot safely adjust yourself. Even fully qualified chiropractors require another professional to deliver their care. Real chiropractic adjustments are highly specific, controlled structural inputs that take years of clinical training to master. While it might be easy to temporarily 'crack' or 'pop' your own joints, this is merely a release of gas bubbles, not a targeted adjustment. Self-manipulation often results in joint strain over time because only the hyper-mobile segments above or below a restriction will release. This can cause ligament laxity and weaken the surrounding supporting muscles. At Falcon Chiropractic on Cold Bath Road, Tom and Jessica use advanced techniques to identify the exact joint restriction causing your back pain or neck stiffness, restoring true joint mechanics safely rather than chasing a temporary pop.
