At Southeast Family Chiropractic, spinal manipulation and adjustment are at the core of what we do.
These treatments realign the spine, improve nervous system function, and help your body move and heal the way it was designed to — naturally and without surgery.
Whether you’re struggling with back pain, poor posture, or limited mobility, our chiropractors in Gastonia, NC, use advanced, gentle techniques to help relieve discomfort, restore motion, and improve your overall well-being.

Your spine is more than just bones — it’s a complex structure made up of vertebrae, discs, joints, and muscles that work together to support your entire body. It also houses your spinal cord, the main communication highway between your brain and every organ, muscle, and nerve.
When spinal joints become misaligned (a condition known as a subluxation), it can:
Over time, this misalignment may contribute to chronic pain, posture issues, and reduced flexibility.
Spinal manipulation — also called a chiropractic adjustment — gently corrects these misalignments, restoring proper motion and alignment to help your body function at its best.
During a spinal adjustment, your chiropractor applies a controlled, targeted force to specific areas of your spine or joints.
This precise movement helps reposition vertebrae, release tension, and reduce pressure on surrounding nerves.
At Southeast Family Chiropractic, we use both manual adjustments (hands-on techniques) and instrument-assisted methods depending on your condition and comfort level.
Benefits of spinal manipulation include:
You may hear a small “popping” sound during treatment — this is simply the release of air and pressure from within the joints, a completely safe and natural part of the process.
Your first appointment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your spine, posture, and range of motion.
Our chiropractors will review your health history, perform a physical examination, and determine whether spinal manipulation is appropriate for you.
Each adjustment is customized to your body and may include additional therapies such as:
Most patients feel noticeable relief after their first few sessions, though lasting improvement often comes with continued care as your spine adapts to its new alignment.
Chiropractic spinal manipulation is a safe, evidence-based treatment for people of all ages — from newborns to seniors.
Our chiropractors use age-appropriate techniques, adjusting both the intensity and method of treatment to ensure comfort and safety for every patient.
