Pain is the last thing to show up in developing spinal problems. It can take many years for us to realize that we have a problem. When we have reached a point where symptoms are produced, it simply means that your body can no longer adapt to the negative changes that are taking place.
When a Chiropractor "adjusts" the joints of your spine, they are simply being mobilized in specific ways. This adjustment relieves some of the stress on your spine and often times that is enough to temporarily relieve the symptoms. The adjustment does not correct years of negative changes, nor does it "pop" things back into place". What it does do is introduce motion into an area that hasn't had proper motion for possibly years.
