Acute Of short duration and relatively severe.
Acute back pain Back pain that lasts a short while, usually a
few days to several weeks. Episodes lasting longer than three
months are not considered acute.
Adjustment A form of manipulation, where the application of
force is of a high velocity - low amplitude thrust. This type of
manipulation can be likened to quickly pulling an apple off of a
branch to obtain the specific apple, as opposed to pulling the
apple slowly and obtaining multiple apples.
A Chiropractic adjustment is performed by using the hands to
gently "adjust" misaligned vertebrae back into their proper position.
Because chiropractors work on a variety of people from newborns to
the elderly, gentleness is always a priority.
A specific directional thrust maneuver or application of forces applied
to a subluxated vertebra that sets the vertebra into motion with the
intent to reduce and/or correct the vertebral misalignment, thus
improving the neurological component of the vertebral subluxation
complex along with vivification of the affected tissues and body
functions.
