Your Joints Called. They Want Their Motion Back.
Your Joints Called.
They Want Their Motion Back.
When your joints get stiff, stuck, or start acting like they’ve retired early, your body can’t move the way it’s supposed to — and it lets you know. Pain shows up. Movement gets clunky. Everything feels just a little… off.
That’s where chiropractic manipulation comes in. These targeted adjustments restore the motion your joints are begging for, reduce pain, and help your whole body move more efficiently.
At Frenchtown Chiropractic in St. Charles, MO, Dr. Kevin Pisle uses evidence-based adjustment techniques to help you stay active, recover faster, and keep doing what you love — without feeling like your body’s working against you. No guesswork or gimmicks (but there may be a dad joke).
What is Chiropractic Manipulation?
Chiropractic manipulation (or “chiropractic adjustment”) is a safe, hands-on technique that restores normal movement to joints that have become stiff, restricted, or just plain uncooperative. When a joint stops moving well, everything around it works harder: muscles tighten, nerves get irritated, and before long, you’re feeling pain in places you didn’t even know could hurt.
And no, it’s not a one-size-fits-all, crack-you-like-a-glowstick kind of thing. Every spine — and every person — responds differently, so Dr. Kevin customizes each adjustment to your comfort level, injury history, and activity goals.
High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude (HVLA) Adjustments
You’ve seen the dramatic adjustments online, but here’s the real story: HVLA adjustments are quick, targeted movements that help a joint regain the motion it’s been missing. That little “pop” you hear? It’s just gas releasing from the joint — like opening a can of sparkling water, not a chiropractic firework show.
When your joints start moving the way they’re supposed to, everything else gets easier: lifting, running, twisting, reaching, even just sitting without wincing.
HVLA Adjustments Are Great For:
Cox® Technic Flexion/Distraction
If HVLA is the sprint, Cox® Technic is the marathon — slow, controlled, and incredibly effective. This gentle method uses a specialized table to decompress the spine, relieve nerve pressure, and restore normal joint motion without any jolting movements.
It’s perfect for people who want relief without the traditional “adjustment feeling,” or who are dealing with any of the following:
- Back pain related to pregnancy
- Lumbar disc herniation
- Cervical disc herniation
- Radiculopathy
- Leg, neck, and arm pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet syndrome
- Degenerative disc disease
- Post-surgical pain
- Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)
