    "description": "Manual chiropractic adjustment of the spine covering three or four of the five recognised spinal regions: neck, upper back, mid back, lower back, and the pelvis and sacrum. It is the middle rung of a three-code family graded purely by how many regions the chiropractor treats, and it is much the most commonly reported of the three. The record has to show a problem in each region treated, not just one adjustment that happened to be felt in several places.",
