Different Kinds of Chiropractic Adjustments

There are many different kinds of chiropractic adjustments. The type of chiropractic adjustments used will depend on the nature of your pain. In Navarre, FL, Navarre Chiropractic Center offers personalized treatment for each patient.

Diversified Technique

The Diversified Technique of chiropractic adjustment is the most widely taught and used. The Diversified Technique uses a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust. This type of spinal manipulation results in the popping sound that results from the release of a gas bubble between the vertebrae.

Thompson Technique

The Thompson Technique is a variation of the Diversified Technique that uses a segmented drop table. When the pressure of the adjustment is applied, the segment of the table drops, which makes for a gentler patient experience. Less force is needed in the thirst to get the same results.

Flexion Distraction

Flexion Distraction is also performed on a segmented table. When your chiropractor does the manipulation of your spine, the table and the combination of the manipulation and the movement of the table help to have a decompressive effect on the spine. This type of manipulation can be very helpful in reducing pressure on your spinal nerves and discs.

Gonstead Method

The Gonstead Method uses a variety of analytic tools to determine where the misalignment in the spine is located. No general adjustments are made, only adjust to the specific area where the misalignment is. The Hi-Lo table was specifically designed for Dr. Gonstead and is used by all chiropractors performing this type of adjustment.

Instrument-Assisted Method

The instrument-assisted method uses a spring-loaded instrument to do the spinal adjustment. The adjustments are very specific to areas where there is extreme pain or a gentler approach is required. No popping sound results from this method, which makes it appropriate for those who dislike the cavitation sound.
