I’m an advocate of simple explanations. I don’t think patients want difficult, complex explanations or words. Bone out of place is over-simplified, I think there’s a better way to explain that, and I’m sure you get

An adjustment should take as long as an adjustment takes. I’m not trying to escape the answer, but that is the truth. If an adjustment takes 15 minutes, that’s what it should take. If an adjustment is one segment, boom, you’re done, it may take
