What Chiropractic Techniques Does North Atlanta Spine Use?

At North Atlanta Spine, we use a range of techniques — from traditional hands-on Full Spine/Diversified adjustments to gentler, instrument-assisted options like the Activator and Thompson techniques, plus Flexion-Distraction & Decompression therapy for disc-related conditions. We match the technique to your condition, comfort level, and preference, not the other way around.

Our Techniques

Which Technique Is Right for You?

Hands-On

Full Spine / Diversified

Corrects spinal misalignments and improves joint movement, guided by palpation to find the precise area needing correction. Uses only the chiropractor's hands — no tables or instruments.

A popping sound may occur as the joint releases
Specific force and direction for minimal discomfort

Gentle

Thompson Technique

Uses a specialized table with drop sections for a gentler adjustment — a good fit for seniors or anyone who prefers less force.

Instrument-Assisted

Activator Technique

A handheld instrument applies targeted, low-force impulses to realign the spine — the same benefits as manual adjustments, without the "cracking" sound. Popular with children and adjustment-averse patients.

Disc Therapy

Flexion-Distraction & Decompression

A non-surgical technique that gently increases joint and disc space and reduces nerve compression. Ideal for herniated discs, facet syndrome, disc degeneration, and spondylolisthesis.
