About Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is the cornerstone of chiropractic care. At Empire Chiropractic, Dr. Jerome Greenberg uses precise, controlled force to restore proper alignment to the spine and other joints of the body.
When your spine is properly aligned, your nervous system can function optimally, allowing your body to heal itself naturally. Misalignments (subluxations) can cause pain, restricted movement, and interfere with nerve signals throughout your body.
Free ConsultationDr. Greenberg has over 35 years of experience performing chiropractic adjustments. His gentle technique is effective for patients of all ages and conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain management.
It's time to get chiropractic treatments if you are experiencing any of the following: aches and pains, pins and needles, numbness, migraine headaches, poor concentration, or atrophy. Your body sends these signals so you can take corrective action to prevent disease.
Comprehensive Chiropractic Treatments and Adjustments include evaluations for Degenerative Disc Disease, Scoliosis, Atrophy, and Neurological Functioning. Gentle, Non-Invasive Treatments include Spinal Decompression, Cold Laser Therapy, and Deep Tissue Massage.
Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical technique known to relieve spine pain and promote healing. It involves stretching the spine gently to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs, which act as a gel-like cushion between each vertebra. The treatment aims to create negative pressure within the discs to retract bulging or herniated discs, reduce nerve pressure, and increase blood flow and nutrient exchange in the affected areas.
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or Cold Laser Therapy, is a complementary treatment option that involves using low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to reduce pain and inflammation and stimulate healing. The cold laser promotes cell metabolism and accelerates healing by absorbing light energy from the skin and reaching deeper tissues.
Deep Tissue Massage can be beneficial for reducing muscle tension and stiffness, improving range of motion, and promoting faster healing. Chronic pain, such as that caused by repetitive strain injuries and postural imbalances, can also be relieved with this type of massage.
Dr. Jerry accepts most insurance plans and offers sliding-scale payments for the uninsured. His holistic chiropractic treatments can unlock your body's natural healing ability by improving your spine's structural integrity and neurological pathways to reduce or eliminate unnecessary pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the popping sound during an adjustment normal?
Yes, the popping or cracking sound is completely normal. It's simply the release of gas bubbles from the joint fluid when the joint is moved. Not all adjustments produce this sound, and it's not an indicator of effectiveness.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes, when performed by a licensed chiropractor like Dr. Greenberg, adjustments are very safe. Chiropractic care has an excellent safety record and is a conservative, drug-free approach to health care.
How often should I get adjusted?
This depends on your individual condition and health goals. Some patients benefit from weekly visits initially, tapering to monthly maintenance. Dr. Greenberg will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
Can I get adjusted if I have osteoporosis?
Yes, Dr. Greenberg can modify his techniques for patients with osteoporosis or other conditions. He uses gentle, low-force methods that are safe and effective for patients of all ages and health situations.
