Chiropractic adjustments are the core of what we do at Coweta Chiropractic in Newnan, GA. An adjustment restores proper motion and alignment to a joint that has become restricted or misaligned, taking pressure off the nerve, easing muscle guarding, and letting the area move the way it was built to move.
Dr. Valerie Román and Dr. Javier Amador are trained in several adjusting techniques, from traditional hands-on methods to gentle, low-force instruments — so the adjustment is matched to your body, your condition, and your comfort level. Hablamos Español.
Why Alignment Matters
Your nervous system controls everything your body does, and it runs through your spine. When vertebrae lose their normal position or motion, they can interfere with the signals traveling along those nerves. That interference shows up as pain, stiffness, numbness, headaches, or simply a body that does not recover the way it should.
Chiropractic care removes that interference so your body gets accurate information and can do its own healing. It is the same logic as seeing a dentist before a tooth breaks rather than after — maintenance beats crisis care.
The Adjusting Techniques We Use
Diversified Technique
The most widely used chiropractic method, and the one most people picture. It uses precise manual adjustments delivered by hand to correct misalignments and restore joint motion. It is direct, effective, and often produces an immediate sense of release.
Thompson Technique (Drop Table)
Performed on a specially designed table with segments that drop a short distance as the adjustment is delivered. The table does part of the work, so the force needed is much lower. A good option if you are apprehensive about manual adjusting, or if your condition calls for a gentler approach.
Activator Method
A handheld spring-loaded instrument delivers a precise, very low-force impulse to a specific spot. There is no twisting and no popping. This is frequently the technique of choice for older patients, patients with osteoporosis, and anyone who prefers the lightest touch available.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is an examination, not a treatment on autopilot. We take a history, examine how your spine moves, and use on-site digital X-rays when the findings call for it. Only then do we explain what we found and what we recommend.
If adjustments are appropriate, we will tell you which technique we plan to use and why. If your condition needs something else — decompression, shockwave therapy, or a referral elsewhere — we will tell you that too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most patients feel relief rather than pain. You may hear a popping sound — that is gas releasing from the joint, not bones cracking. If you are nervous or sensitive, we can use the drop table or Activator instead.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on what is wrong, how long it has been going on, and how your body responds. We will give you an honest estimate after the examination rather than committing you to a long plan up front.
Is chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic adjustment is widely regarded as a safe, conservative approach to musculoskeletal pain. We examine first precisely so care is matched to your condition, and we will say so if you are not a good candidate.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with us.
