Diversified Technique

At Smith Chiropractic, we use an adjusting style commonly referred to as “Diversified.”

First, an analysis of the spine is performed. This can initially involve a case history and X-ray pictures of the spine.

Subsequent visits may include motion palpation, with the chiropractor feeling the spinal joints move as you turn and bend. Or, a leg check may be performed, to uncover an imbalance in the neck or lower spine.

With the malposition of one or more spinal bones identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth and angle that are used is the result of experience, practice and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics.

The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from shifting gas and fluids in the joint. This sound may be interesting, but has little meaning as to the value and effectiveness of the adjustment.

While improving spinal biomechanics can reduce nervous system interferences, virtually all joints of the body can be adjusted to help restore proper range of motion.

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer the following: adjunctive therapy measures, rehabilitation, nutrition guidance and vitamins, supports and braces, pillows and orthotics.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and have a preference about how you are adjusted, let us know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your adjustments.
