What are chiropractic adjustments?

A Chiropractic adjustment, or spinal manipulation, is a manual therapy that helps ease pressure on joints and improves the range of your spinal motion. This type of therapy targets neck pain, back pain, headaches and much more. Chiropractors use different chiropractic adjustment techniques, being some gentle while others involve the application of a controlled force to a spinal joint. Keep reading to learn about the most common chiropractic adjustment techniques.

Diversified Technique

The most commonly used chiropractic adjustment technique. This technique has 3 key purposes. Restoring spinal alignment, repairing joint dysfunction, and ensuring movement and mobility. Using hands-on thrusts with extreme precision, chiropractors are able to restore spinal alignment, increasing a patient’s range of motion, which are affected by misaligned joints or bones.

Spinal mobilisation

Spinal mobilisation relieves pressure on joints, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function. While spinal mobilisation is a “manual therapy technique” similar to the diversified technique discussed above, it utilizes more gentle thrusting motions and involves more stretching.

Activator method chiropractic technique

This technique uses a small hand-held instrument called an “activator” to correct spinal misalignment. This is a very gentle technique, being great for paediatric patients, as well as patients with chronic conditions, like arthritis.

Flexion Distraction techniques performed by our chiropractor in London

Flexion-distraction is a low force, safe, and gentle chiropractic technique. Flexion-distraction relieves pressure off injured or dysfunctional spinal nerves. The technique is performed on a segmented table that moves, these movements contribute to stretch and decompress the spine.
