Chiropractic Adjustments in Brea, CA
Chiropractic adjustments are controlled techniques used to improve movement in joints that appear restricted or are not functioning as expected. At Reborn Chiropractic & Wellness Center, adjustments are not performed simply because a patient has pain. Dr. Peter Yi first evaluates your symptoms, mobility, health history, and relevant orthopedic or neurological findings to determine whether an adjustment may be appropriate.
What Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Do?
The spine contains many individual joints that work together when you bend, turn, sit, walk, and exercise. Although you can move your spine as a whole, you cannot voluntarily move each small spinal joint independently.
When certain joints become stiff or move poorly, nearby muscles and joints may compensate. A chiropractic adjustment may be used to help restore joint motion and support more comfortable movement.
The goal is not necessarily to “put a bone back in place.” In most routine musculoskeletal cases, the focus is improving joint mobility and function.

What to Expect
Dr. Yi will explain the recommended technique before treatment. Some patients hear a popping sound caused by changes in joint pressure, while others do not. The sound is not required for the treatment to be effective.
Temporary soreness may occur after treatment, particularly when an area has been irritated or restricted for an extended period.
