Chiropractic Adjustments Explained
What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a quick, controlled movement applied to a joint in your spine, or another joint, that isn’t moving the way it should. The goal is to restore motion and ease pain and stiffness so you can get back to work, sleep, and the things you enjoy.
At Kamego Chiropractic, every adjustment starts with an exam so Dr. Kamego knows which areas need attention. Then you’re adjusted one of two ways: gently, with the computerized ProAdjuster, or by hand with a traditional adjustment.
Feel like your back or neck is out of place? You’re not alone. It’s one of the most common things we hear from patients across Almont and Lapeer County.
Common Reasons People Get Adjusted
Option 1 · Computerized
The ProAdjuster: Computerized Chiropractic Adjustments With No Cracking
The ProAdjuster is a computerized adjusting system. It measures how each part of your spine is moving, shows the results on a screen, and then adjusts the stiff areas with gentle, precise taps. You stay seated and comfortable the whole time, with no twisting, popping, or cracking.
Live Spinal Analysis
The Bar Graph
Scan
Dr. Kamego moves a small handheld instrument along your spine. It taps lightly on each segment while a sensor reads how that segment responds, whether it moves freely or feels stiff and rigid.
See
The computer turns those readings into a bar graph, so you can see right on the screen which segments are locked up and need to be adjusted.
Adjust
Using the same instrument, Dr. Kamego delivers gentle, targeted taps to those stiff segments to help them move more freely. No twisting, popping, or cracking.
Why patients like it
- No twisting or cracking
- Stay seated and comfortable
- See your analysis on screen
- Gentle enough for older adults
Option 2 · Hands-On
Traditional Hands-On Chiropractic Adjustments
Some patients want the feel of a classic adjustment. For others, gentle tapping alone doesn’t get the job done. Either way, Dr. Kamego uses his hands to make a quick, specific adjustment to the joints that aren’t moving well.
Drop Table Adjustments
Sections of the table drop a fraction of an inch as he adjusts, so he can use less force while still getting the movement your spine needs.
About That Pop
You may hear a pop. It’s just gas releasing from the joint, like when you crack your knuckles, and it’s nothing to worry about.
Fit to You
There’s no one-size-fits-all technique. Dr. Kamego chooses the approach based on how you present at your exam, what’s comfortable for you, and your preference.

Our Recommendation

Common Questions
Chiropractic Adjustment Questions, Answered
What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?
After your exam, Dr. Kamego adjusts the areas of your spine that aren’t moving well. With the ProAdjuster, you sit comfortably while a handheld instrument measures each segment and then gently taps the stiff ones. With a hands-on adjustment, you lie on a padded table while he makes quick, specific adjustments by hand, often using a drop table. The adjustment itself usually takes just a few minutes.
Do I have to get cracked or popped?
No. If you’d rather not hear or feel any cracking, the ProAdjuster adjusts your spine with gentle taps and no twisting or popping. If you prefer a traditional adjustment, the pop you may hear is just gas releasing from the joint. It’s your choice, and you can switch between the two at any visit.
Does the ProAdjuster really work? What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it’s gentle, there’s no twisting or cracking, you stay seated, and you can see the computer analysis of your spine on the screen. Cons: some patients prefer the feel of a manual adjustment, and for some people, gentle tapping alone isn’t enough. Results vary from person to person, which is why we offer both options and can move to hands-on care if that works better for you.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
According to the Mayo Clinic, chiropractic adjustment is safe when it’s done by someone trained and licensed to deliver chiropractic care, and serious complications are rare. Your exam, plus X-rays when needed, helps Dr. Kamego make sure adjustments are a good fit for you. Some people feel mild soreness for a day or so afterward. If chiropractic isn’t right for you, he’ll tell you.
Does insurance or Medicare cover chiropractic adjustments?
We accept Medicare and most major insurance plans. Medicare Part B covers spinal adjustments by a chiropractor when they’re medically necessary to correct a problem with how the spine is moving. Our staff will check your coverage before your first visit and let you know about any costs ahead of time.
How many adjustments will I need?
It depends on what’s going on, how long it’s been bothering you, and your goals. After your exam, Dr. Kamego will recommend a plan, explain it, and update it as you improve. Some patients come in for a short stretch of care, while others choose regular visits to stay active.
