Chiropractic Techniques
Diversified
This is the most common technique for adjusting and is used in most clinics. A high velocity low amplitude thrust is applied to a joint which causes a popping sound due to gas release from the joint which is non-painful. This technique can be used to treat many joints of the body.
Thompson
Thompson drop or terminal drop is a specific chiropractic technique used by chiropractors to return mobility to a joint. A special table is required for this technique allowing for the table to drop during the adjustment and allowing for correcting proper alignment in the area.
Activator
This technique uses an activator adjusting tool to provide the adjustment and it is a lighter and gentler form of adjusting. The strength of the tool can be changed from stronger to lighter depending on the area being adjusted. It is more commonly used on elderly clients, infants and children however it can be used on anyone. It can also be used on different joints such as jaw, wrist and ankles.
