First of all you need to understand that chiropractic adjustment is not a hit-and-trial method but a proven scientific procedure that needs years of education and practice to gain the skill. When a chiropractor is adjusting a bone in your body, say spinal bone, he will apply a gentle pressure on your spine by selecting an appropriate method (one out of hundreds of known methods).

The motion applied by the chiropractor momentarily loosens the joints and helps it get back into proper alignment. Thus it relieves pressure on the joints and helps in decreasing the pain.
