Spinal adjustments are among the most common treatments offered at Pike Creek Chiropractic Center. If you're searching for a chiropractor in Newark, DE, who provides spinal adjustments and spinal manipulation, our team can help.

What Are Spinal Adjustments?

A spinal adjustment, also known as a chiropractic adjustment, involves applying controlled force to a specific area of the spine to improve alignment and restore proper function. Chiropractors may perform adjustments using their hands or specialized instruments.

Spinal manipulation is a broader term that includes various manual therapies applied to the spine, such as mobilization, traction, and massage.

Although spinal adjustments may appear forceful, they are generally not painful. In fact, many patients experience immediate relief and look forward to their treatments because of the benefits they provide.

Dr South is very professional and sincerely cares about his patients. He has eliminated my migraines and continues to improve issues with my neck and back. I had an elderly dog who could hardly walk and I took him to the vet three times in two weeks. They gave me prescriptions that were not helping, then recommended a chiropractor. I was surprised they recommended Dr South, already my chiropractor! One visit and he was walking pretty normal. After the second visit he was running and playing like a puppy. We had another three years of quality life thanks to Dr South. I'm so grateful to have him in my life!

Dr South, Sharon, Sam and NaMeta are amazing. They genuinely want to know how you are doing from visit to visit. They know each of their patients by name and greet you at the door. Their attention to detail is spot on. I enjoy every session that I have with them. Can't imagine going to anyone else for my Chiropractic needs.
