Chiropractic Adjustments

What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments are controlled, targeted movements applied to specific joints in the spine or extremities that have become misaligned or restricted in their normal range of motion. These misalignments — called subluxations — can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain, muscle tension, reduced mobility, and a cascade of health problems throughout the body.

At Aloha Wellness in San Antonio, Dr. Clayton Clark uses a combination of manual and instrument-assisted adjustment techniques refined over 25+ years of clinical practice. Rather than relying on routine X-rays, Dr. Clark uses advanced Insight© nerve scanning technology to objectively measure how your nervous system is functioning before, during, and after your care plan. This data-driven approach means every adjustment is informed by real measurements — not guesswork.

How Dr. Clark’s Approach Is Different

Most chiropractic offices rely on a standard protocol: take X-rays, identify subluxations, and begin adjustments on a predetermined schedule. Dr. Clark takes a more individualized approach:

• Insight© Nerve Scanning — Before your first adjustment, a painless infrared scan maps the electrical activity along your spine. This reveals exactly where nerve interference exists and how severe it is.
• Targeted Corrections — Rather than adjusting the entire spine every visit, Dr. Clark focuses on the specific segments that your scan data shows need attention.
• Progress Tracking — Follow-up scans document measurable improvements in nerve function, giving you objective proof that your care is working.
• Nutritional Support — As a certified Applied Clinical Nutritionist, Dr. Clark can identify nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to inflammation and slowing your recovery.

Conditions That Respond to Chiropractic Adjustments

Spinal adjustments can provide significant relief for a wide range of conditions:

• Chronic and acute back pain
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Headaches and migraines
• Sciatica and radiating leg pain
• Shoulder, hip, and knee pain
• Muscle tension and spasms
• Reduced range of motion
• Poor posture
• Stress-related tension

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your first visit begins with a thorough health history and consultation. Dr. Clark will listen carefully to understand your symptoms, their history, and your health goals. The Insight© nerve scan takes just a few minutes and is completely painless — no radiation, no discomfort.

Based on your scan results and examination findings, Dr. Clark will explain exactly what he found and recommend a personalized care plan. If adjustments are appropriate, you may receive your first treatment on the same day.

Most adjustment sessions take 15-20 minutes. Many patients experience noticeable relief after their very first visit, though lasting correction typically requires a series of visits to retrain the joints and supporting muscles.
