Personalised Chiropractic Care for Spinal Adjustment in London
A spinal adjustment is a controlled movement applied to a joint in the spine to improve its motion and ease pain. You may hear a popping sound, which is gas moving in the joint fluid and is normal.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. Adjustments are one of several tools I use, alongside soft tissue work, mobilisation and exercises, and I use them only where they are appropriate. See also our back pain page and neck pain page.

Understanding Spinal Adjustment
When a Spinal Adjustment May Help
Adjustments are often used when a spinal joint is stiff or restricted and associated with local pain, tension or reduced movement. They are used for back pain, neck pain and some types of headache.
They are not suitable for every person or every problem. After a thorough history and examination I will explain whether an adjustment, a gentler technique, or no manipulation at all is the best option.
Clear, personalised care for spinal adjustment
Every consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your spine, followed by a clear explanation of whether a spinal adjustment is suitable for you.
