Chiropractic Adjustment in Charleston, SC

When your spine moves out of its natural alignment, even slightly, it can quietly affect posture, balance, and the way your nervous system communicates with every part of your body.

A chiropractic adjustment restores that alignment—realigning the vertebrae, relieving joint stress, and helping the body function the way it was designed to.

At Axis Chiropractic in Charleston, Dr. Lee Russo, DC combines traditional adjusting techniques with Chiropractic BioPhysics® principles to correct spinal structure, not just relieve pain.

His goal is to restore optimal motion and posture so the spine can support healthy nerve flow and long-term wellness.

This structural approach forms the foundation of every care plan at Axis Chiropractic—because when your spine moves and aligns properly, your whole body performs better.

How a Chiropractic Adjustment Works

A chiropractic adjustment uses a controlled, precise force applied to specific spinal joints that have lost their normal movement or alignment.

These corrections are performed by hand or with a specialized instrument to gently move the joint back into its ideal position.

During an adjustment, Dr. Lee Russo, DC evaluates how each spinal region—from the neck through the lower back—affects the body’s overall posture and balance.

Adjusting multiple regions in sequence helps redistribute mechanical stress, reduce muscle tension, and restore normal joint motion across the entire spine.

As alignment improves, nerve interference decreases, allowing the brain and body to communicate more efficiently.

This renewed coordination helps stabilize the spine naturally between visits and supports smoother, more comfortable movement in everyday life.
