| This is a quick
technique that generally results in the popping
sound as the chiropractor makes the adjustment.
It is one of the most widely used forms of
manipulation in the chiropractic field.
Diversified is
the most common technique used by chiropractors.
It is a manual adjustment technique used to
correct misaligned or subluxated spinal segments
of the neck and back.
Diversified is a
technique that is taught at most major
chiropractic colleges. It is primarily the use
of the practitioner's hands to make the spinal
correction. Many times an audible snap or pop
will be heard as the correction is made.
This is the
technique style that most people associate with
chiropractic, using a small, quick thrust to
increase movement in a specific joint and often
creating a 'clicking' sound as the joint
surfaces separate. The 'clicking' or cavitation
to give it it's correct name, is caused by
decreased pressure inside the joint creating a
bubble of gas, which 'clicks' as it bursts. It
is probably the single thing that most patients
report disliking about their treatment, not
because it is particularly painful but because
they just don't like the noise.
Diversified
adjustments can be the quickest, most efficient
way to get movement happening in a joint and is
a very important treatment style. |
