Diversified Technique / Manual Manipulation
The term “Chiropractic” comes from the Greek word Chiropraktikos, meaning “done by hand.” The Diversified technique is still the most common chiropractic treatment. Using this technique, chiropractors improve function, restore movement, and decrease pain. It is well documented that manual adjustments help relieve neck and back pain. Since the Diversified technique is a manual therapy, no instruments are used to perform the manipulation.
Instrument Adjusting
The Impulse Adjusting Instrument is a hand-held instrument that delivers a high-speed, gentle, and very specific impulse to the spine, extremities, and/or cranium in order to correct muscle and joint dysfunctions. This tool gives us the ability to work with patients who may be nervous about traditional chiropractic adjustments, those who may be in acute pain, those who have a condition that makes manual adjusting inapropriate, or those who simply prefer instrument adjusting.
Myofascial Release
Myofascia is connective tissue found in and around muscles. When the fascial system is restricted, it leads to less lubrication for the soft tissue and myofascial structures resulting in adhesions, scar tissue, and dysfunction. The importance of myofascial release therapy is often overlooked but is absolutely necessary to help correct muscle imbalances, improve ranges of motion, and decrease recovery time. Myofascial release can be performed by hand or with the use of tools and specific technique systems.
