ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
Expert Chiropractic Adjustments at Central Health
A chiropractic adjustment — also called spinal manipulation — is a precise, controlled force applied to a restricted joint. The goal is to restore normal motion, reduce pain, and remove pressure on surrounding nerves and tissues.
​
Dr. Jake Boyle at Central Health Chiropractic in Des Moines is trained in the three most respected adjustment techniques: Diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson. Each has its own application, and Dr. Boyle selects the best approach for your specific condition and comfort level.
​
We always adjust on your first visit when it's clinically safe to do so — because waiting doesn't help you get better faster.
