What is Chiropractic Treatment?

Chiropractic treatment is a hands on therapy that focuses on restoring proper movement and alignment of the spine and joints to support overall musculoskeletal health. Through controlled adjustments, the treatment improves misaligned joints, which can reduce pressure on nearby nerves, ease muscle tightness, and improve body function. The word “chiropractic” comes from the Greek cheir (hand) and praktikos (done or practiced), meaning “done by hand.” The practice was founded in 1895 by D.D. Palmer in the United States.

A licensed chiropractor performs precise hand movements with different techniques, such as spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, or mobilization, depending on the patient’s condition and comfort level. Chiropractic care is commonly used for back pain, neck pain, headaches, posture issues, and stiffness caused by everyday strain or injury. By improving joint mobility and supporting healthy nervous system activity, the treatment relieves discomfort while enhancing posture, flexibility, and long term spinal balance.

Types of Chiropractic Techniques

Spinal Mobilization (Low Force Adjustment)

Gentle and slow movements that loosen stiff joints and improve flexibility, especially helpful for patients who are sensitive to stronger techniques.

Drop Table Technique

A special chiropractic table with sections that gently drop during treatment, making spinal adjustments easier and more comfortable.

Activator Method

A small handheld tool that gives quick, light pulses to specific joints, allowing precise adjustments with very little force.

Spinal Manipulation (High Velocity, Low Amplitude Adjustment)

A quick, controlled movement applied to a spinal joint to improve alignment, reduce pressure on nerves, and restore normal motion.

Extremity Adjustments

Adjustments made to joints outside the spine like the shoulders, hips, or wrists to improve movement and overall balance.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Muscle work such as massage or myofascial release to ease tightness, reduce pain, and support the results of spinal adjustments.

Flexion Distraction Technique

Done on a special table that gently stretches the spine, often used to ease disc related problems and relieve sciatica.

How is Chiropractic Treatment Performed?

A step by step look at the key parts of a chiropractic visit, showing how treatment brings the spine back into balance and eases muscle tension, is explained below.

Targeted Check & Plan – The visit starts with a full check up. The chiropractor looks at posture, how the joints move, and where muscles feel tight. This helps find problem areas and decide what care is needed.
Gentle Adjustments & Realignment – With steady, controlled hand pressure, the chiropractor makes small joint moves. These help straighten the spine, take pressure off the nerves, and make the joints work better.
Muscle Release & Extra Support – The chiropractor may also use stretches or gentle pressure on sore spots to relax the muscles. This makes it easier for the joints to stay in the right place and adapt well.
Maintaining Your Results – Once the session is done, movement and comfort are checked again. Simple tips on posture, easy home moves, and advice for future visits are given to help results last longer.

Trusted Voices, Proven Service

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

It is always lovely to visit The Nova clinic on Al Wasl rd. the staff are all super nice and helpful. Jessica did my facial today. She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

Lisa Hamilton
It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

Diana Gorbacheva
I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

Dunia hasbini
I recently had my brows shaped by Lana Tarek, a well known brow aesthetician. I am so impressed by her work. She is very meticulous in what she does, she will analyse your face and create a shape which will suit you best. My mother also does micoblading there and the results are amazing.. She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
