CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES
Alpharetta Chiropractic Care. Which technique Is right for you? The focus of this technique is the non-surgical reduction of neuro-compressive disc and non-discal lesions of the spine.
Full Spine/ Diversified
This hands-on chiropractic technique focuses on correcting spinal misalignments (subluxations) and improving joint movement. Unlike other methods, it does not use table drops or instruments—only the chiropractor’s hands.
🔹 Adjustments are guided by palpation (feeling for motion restrictions) to determine the precise area that needs correction.
🔹 A popping sound may occur as the joint releases pressure.
🔹 Using specific force and direction, the correction is made with minimal discomfort.
Gentle & Assisted Adjustment
For patients who prefer a gentler approach—such as seniors, children, or those uncomfortable with traditional adjustments—assisted techniques offer a safe, effective alternative.
✅ Thompson Technique – Uses a specialized table with drop sections for a gentle adjustment.
✅ Activator Technique – A handheld instrument applies targeted, low-force impulses to realign the spine.
These techniques provide the same benefits as manual adjustments but with less force and no “cracking” sounds.
