Gentle, Low-Force Adjustments
You want relief from pain and tension, but you may not want your body pushed or twisted. At Working Body Chiropractic in Davis, you can receive chiropractic care that is gentle, specific, and centered on how your nervous system is functioning, not on force or intensity.
We focus on low-force adjustments designed to work with your body, not against it. Each session is tailored to your unique structure and nervous system, so you can feel supported while you move toward better function, comfort, and ease in your daily life.
Chiropractic Care That Respects Your Nervous System
Your nervous system coordinates every movement, sensation, and function in your body. When it is under stress or not communicating clearly, you can feel pain, stiffness, fatigue, or a general sense that something is not quite right. Our approach is to work directly with your nervous system so your body can organize and heal in a more natural, efficient way.
Gentle, low-force adjustments can be a good fit if you are sensitive to traditional chiropractic techniques, feel anxious about being adjusted, or simply prefer a more subtle style of care. As a practitioner rooted in Diversified technique with an emphasis on precise structural analysis, Dr. Ackerman uses controlled contacts and positioning that are intended to help your body release tension and improve alignment with as little force as necessary.
With this type of care, you can often feel changes in how you move, breathe, and carry yourself, without feeling like your body was pushed past its limits.

What You Can Expect From Your Visit
Your care begins with a detailed conversation about your health history, current concerns, and what you hope to change. We take time to understand how your body has been adapting over time, then perform a focused physical examination that looks at posture, movement, and signs of nervous system stress.
During an adjustment, you stay fully clothed and are guided into comfortable positions. We use specific, low-force contacts to address areas of tension or imbalance, often starting with the spine and related structures. Many patients describe the process as gentle, precise, and calming. Follow-up visits build on your body’s responses, so each session is adapted based on how you are changing, not a one-size-fits-all routine.

Our focus is on precise chiropractic adjustments that unlock your nervous system’s full potential, so your body can communicate and function optimally.

Whiplash can occur when the head and neck move rapidly back and forth, commonly during a motor vehicle accident.
Some people experience neck stiffness, reduced movement, headaches, or muscle discomfort following an injury. Symptoms can also develop after the initial event.

Such excellent care and treatment. Especially from the orthodontic staff. Would never go anywhere else for my teeth.
