Spinal Adjustments & Chiropractic Manipulation in Chicago

Looking for effective spinal adjustments in Chicago? At Aligned Modern Health, we offer evidence-based spinal manipulation and chiropractic spinal treatments that relieve pain, restore mobility, and help you feel your best—without surgery or medication.

What Is Spinal Manipulation?

Spinal manipulation—also known as a chiropractic adjustment—is a hands-on technique used to correct misalignments in the spine and improve nervous system function. When your spine is out of alignment, it can create pain, inflammation, restricted movement, and even impact other areas of your health.

Our licensed chiropractors use precise, controlled force to realign spinal joints and reduce tension. The result is better movement, improved posture, and often immediate relief from symptoms.

Benefits of Chiropractic Spinal Treatment

Our chiropractic spinal treatments are tailored to your needs and can support recovery from a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, sports injuries, and more. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or a recent injury, our approach emphasizes function, prevention, and long-term wellness.

Chiropractic spinal manipulation may help you:

  • Relieve acute or chronic back and neck pain
  • Reduce headaches or migraines linked to spinal tension
  • Improve flexibility, posture, and mobility
  • Support recovery from injuries or muscle strain
  • Avoid unnecessary medications or surgery

“We’re not just treating symptoms. We’re helping patients move, function, and live better—long term,” says Dr. Staci Ahrens, DC, Cert MDT.

What to Expect from a Spinal Adjustment

During your visit, your chiropractor will perform a thorough assessment and create a custom care plan. The adjustment itself typically takes just a few minutes and is delivered using either hands-on techniques or specialized instruments.

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick release of pressure—sometimes with an audible “pop” or “crack,” which is simply gas being released from the joint.

There is minimal to no downtime, and most patients report feeling better immediately or within a few hours of treatment.
