While chiropractors focus primarily on adjusting the spine
we also are trained on adjusting all of the joints in the body.
Chiropractic
Techniques
Diversified Technique: The most commonly used adjustment technique by chiropractors. Diversified is characterized by a quick, light thrust. The adjustment restores normal bone position, improves range of motion, and decreases pain
Activator Technique: The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique is a treatment method that uses an instrument as an alternative to manual adjustment of the spine or extremity joints. The device is categorized as a mechanical force manual assisted (MFMA) instrument which is generally regarded as a softer chiropractic treatment technique.
Thompson Technique: The Thompson Drop-Table Technique uses a precision adjusting table with a weighing mechanism which adds only enough tension to hold the patient in the “up” position before the thrust is given. This technique allows us to deliver a light, quick, and comfortable adjustment.
Logan Basic Technique: This is a very low-force treatment. This basic technique is very effective for patients that have high levels of pain, sensitivity, or muscle tension.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Technique: This is a therapeutic method for diagnosing and treating disorders of the skeletal muscles and related connective tissue. This technique breaks up abnormal tissue to promote healing, normal movement, and relieve pain.
Webster Breech Technique: The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant mothers. It is a gentle way to help breech babies turn into a head-down position for delivery.
Kinesio Technique: Kinesio Taping is a technique based on the body’s own natural healing process. The tape can be used to help rehabilitate injuries by providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting range of motion.
