Adjustment |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.07 sec. |
Adjustment 1. A tax deduction taken on a loss, especially on bad debt or accounts receivable that will likely not be collected. One is not liable for income that is not actually realized. 2. In insurance, a payment on a claim. For example, if one has homeowner's insurance and his/her house floods, he/she is entitled to an adjustment, so long as the insurance covers flooding. Arriving at the amount of the adjustment is a complex process and insurance companies employ full-time adjusters to investigate claims and determine what amount, if any, the adjustment should be. 3. In an adjustable-rate mortgage, a change in the interest rate paid on the mortgage. The adjustment may be upward or downward. See also: Adjustment frequency. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Now I am not saying that going to a chiropractor will cure any of these things, but by getting a chiropractic adjustment, you boost your immune system and allow your body to function better, thus allowing your body to take care of unwanted conditions faster. The court reasoned that Hangarter's handful of attempts to perform chiropractic adjustments were nothing more than "futile attempts" to return to her previous occupation and were insufficient to reverse the jury's determination of total disability. |
