Introduction
If you’ve ever woken up with neck stiffness, struggled with chronic back pain, or felt like your body “just isn’t moving right,” you’re not alone. Many people in Cibolo, Schertz, and the surrounding Northeast San Antonio area experience pain and tightness that affect their daily lives.
At Peak Performance & Functional Chiropractic, we specialize in chiropractic adjustments — gentle, precise movements that restore alignment, reduce pain, and help your body function at its best. Let’s break down how adjustments work and why they’re one of the most effective tools for long-term pain relief and mobility.
What Exactly Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment (also called a spinal manipulation) is a safe and controlled technique used to restore proper movement and alignment to joints in the spine or other areas of the body.
Over time, stress, posture habits, sports, and everyday wear and tear can cause your joints to become restricted. When that happens, your muscles tighten, nerves get irritated, and pain often follows.
During an adjustment, Dr. Charles Dominguez D.C applies a gentle and precise force to these restricted joints. This restores motion, reduces pressure on the nervous system, and allows the body to heal and function the way it’s designed to.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments
Regular chiropractic care offers far more than just short-term pain relief. Patients often report:
Improved mobility and flexibility
Reduced neck, back, and joint pain
Fewer headaches or migraines
Better posture and spinal health
Enhanced athletic performance and recovery
Better sleep and reduced muscle tension
When your spine is aligned, your nervous system communicates more efficiently — meaning your body performs and heals better overall.

Back and neck pain
