Chiropractic adjustments
Adjustments matched to you
There’s no single right way to adjust a spine. Dr. Meitz draws on ten techniques and picks what fits your body and the problem in front of him.
Like tuning a piano
Small, precise corrections that add up
A good adjustment isn’t about force. It’s about finding the joint that isn’t moving the way it should and helping it return to its proper place, so the muscles and nerves around it can settle. Get the small things in tune and the whole instrument plays better.
Some people feel relief the same day. For longer-standing problems, it takes a short series of visits to hold the change. Dr. Meitz will tell you which one you’re looking at.
