A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, hands-on treatment that helps a stiff or painful joint move better. At ProCare it is the core of most treatment plans after a car accident or a work injury.
During an adjustment your chiropractor positions you on the treatment table, finds the joint that is restricted and applies a controlled movement to it. You may hear a soft popping sound. That is gas being released from the joint and it is normal.
The goal is to restore motion in the joint and ease the muscle tension and pain around it. Your chiropractor explains each step before starting and adjusts the technique to your injury, age and comfort.
We ask what happened, check your posture, motion and reflexes, and refer you for an X-ray or MRI if needed.
Your chiropractor explains which areas need care and how adjustments fit with rehab and massage.
Each visit includes adjustments where they are needed and a check of how you are responding.
We re-examine you along the way and change the plan as you improve.
We accept auto insurance, help with Oregon PIP and workers' comp claims, and work with personal injury attorneys, including letter of protection (LOP) cases. Our staff checks your coverage before treatment. See insurance we accept.

Ener G., Google review, PortlandMost patients feel little or no discomfort. Some feel mild soreness for a day, similar to after exercise. Tell your chiropractor if anything feels uncomfortable and the technique can be changed.
