What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a procedure performed by a chiropractor using their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a joint, often in the spine, but can be performed on extremities as well.
Extremity Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments to the extremities involve meticulous manipulations of joints outside the spine, such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. As with spinal adjustments, these manipulations help restore alignment, improve joint function, reduce pain, and enhance overall mobility in the affected areas.
Types of Adjustments
The goal of any adjustment is to improve motion and the body’s function and integrity, ensuring the body works at its peak.
Our clinic offers many kinds of chiropractic adjustments that combine traditional and modern approaches; some include:
The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique (AMCT)
A type of chiropractic treatment that uses a small, handheld, spring-loaded instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument delivers a gentle and precise force to specific points on the body. This technique is designed to improve spinal alignment and joint function while minimizing discomfort during the adjustment.
The Diversified Chiropractic Technique
One of the most commonly used chiropractic methods, this method is characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to adjust spinal and extremity joints. This technique aims to restore proper movement and alignment to the spine and joints, improving overall function and reducing pain.
The Thompson Technique
Also known as the Thompson Terminal Point Technique or Thompson Drop-Table Technique, this adjusting method uses a specially designed table with drop mechanisms to facilitate spinal adjustments. This technique aims to gently and precisely adjust the spine and other joints in need.
The Gonstead Technique
A comprehensive chiropractic method that focuses on meticulous analysis and precise adjustments to correct spinal misalignments. This technique emphasizes biomechanical principles and aims to restore and maintain optimal health by addressing the root cause of spinal and nervous system dysfunctions.
These modalities provide precise spinal adjustments to realign structures, promoting healing and comfort. We offer various techniques to tailor to patient preferences; however, all are typically performed on a table and generate no pain. Our team will guide you through suitable treatment options based on your injury and comfort level.
