Skilled Chiropractic Adjustment, sometimes referred to as Chiropractic Manipulative Treatment or simply an “Adjustment,” is the use of a controlled amount of force applied to a bone (or bones) and joint in order to restore proper biomechanical function to the joints.

What to Expect

In our office, we primarily utilize Diversified Technique which consists of the doctor applying the impulse or force by hand with a short-lever, high-velocity, low-amplitude or HVLA thrust, focused into the joint with aberrant function or mechanics. We also incorporate Drop Technique and Flexion-Distraction Therapy (a form of specifically focused spinal decompression) for those conditions which require different or additional types of intervention.

Our Top Quality, Board-Certified Doctors Have Additional Certifications and Expertise in the Graston Technqiue

Graston Technique

Many of our patients combine their skilled Chiropractic Adjustment with the Graston Technique, which we are uniquely certified in. This is a large and significant component to our specialized approach to treatment. These treatments compliment each other very well to address both the joint dysfunction of the bones as well as the soft tissue components of an injury, whether it be the muscle tension, strains and sprains, adhesions/scar tissue and knots throughout the fascia and the muscles. Together these techniques help us to heal our patient's injuries and pave the path to wellness by treating the musculoskeletal system as a whole. Learn more about Graston Technique.

Chiropractic Adjustment FAQ

A chiropractic adjustment, also called spinal manipulation, is a controlled force applied by a licensed chiropractor to a specific joint to restore proper motion, reduce nerve irritation, and improve biomechanics. Complete Care Chiropractic in Williamsville, NY uses Diversified Technique, Drop Technique, and Flexion-Distraction tailored to each patient's body type and condition.
A chiropractic adjustment should not hurt. Most patients describe immediate relief and a feeling of looseness. Some mild soreness — similar to post-exercise tenderness — can occur in the first 24 hours of treatment, particularly after a first visit. Our doctors adjust force and technique to each patient's comfort, including gentle techniques like Activator or Drop Table for sensitive patients.
The audible pop, called a cavitation, is the release of gas bubbles (mostly nitrogen) from the synovial fluid inside the joint when it is moved through its normal range. It is not a bone cracking. The sound is not a measure of how effective the adjustment is — many successful adjustments are silent, especially those using Activator or Drop Technique.
Most acute conditions resolve in 4 to 8 visits, while chronic or complex cases may require 12 or more. After your initial exam, your doctor at Complete Care Chiropractic creates a custom care plan with measurable goals. Many patients then transition to wellness or maintenance care every 4 to 6 weeks to keep symptoms from returning.
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments performed by licensed doctors are widely regarded as one of the safest non-invasive treatments for musculoskeletal pain. Serious side effects are rare. Every patient at Complete Care Chiropractic receives a thorough health history, orthopedic exam, and screening before treatment to identify any contraindications such as severe osteoporosis or vascular issues.
Most major medical insurance plans, no-fault auto insurance, and workers' compensation cover chiropractic adjustments. Complete Care Chiropractic verifies your benefits before your first visit so you know your coverage and out-of-pocket cost. Call (716) 580-3577 to confirm coverage for your plan.
