A chiropractic adjustment, also called spinal manipulation, is a hands-on technique used to improve the alignment and movement of the joints in your spine and extremities. When a vertebra becomes restricted or misaligned, it can irritate nearby nerves, tighten surrounding muscles, and limit your range of motion. A targeted adjustment frees that joint, which can reduce pain, ease muscle tension, and support healthier nervous system function.
Dr. Renteria uses an evidence-based, patient-first approach. Depending on your body and comfort level, adjustments may be delivered by hand or with low-force instrument-assisted techniques, making care appropriate for everyone from athletes to seniors to expecting mothers.

What to Expect on Your First Visit
Your first appointment includes a detailed health history, a movement and orthopedic exam, and a clear explanation of what we find. From there, Dr. Renteria builds a customized treatment plan that may combine adjustments with soft-tissue work, rehab exercises, and supporting therapies. You will always know what we are doing and why, because we believe informed patients get better results.
Most patients describe the adjustment itself as quick and relieving rather than painful, and many feel improved mobility the same day.
