THE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT
The Chiropractic adjustment typically involves a specific force to a vertebra, aimed at correcting spinal subluxations. The goal of adjusting the spine is to restore proper motion and improve spinal function.
The Chiropractic profession uses many different adjustment techniques. Dr. Jesse will determine what techniques are appropriate for you and your condition.
Chiropractic techniques USED at SEASIDE CHIROPRACTIC
Diversified Technique
The diversified technique is the High Velocity/Low Amplitude (HVLA) adjustment which is most commonly used throughout the field of chiropractic. As the name implies, the Diversified Technique can be used to treat many of the joints in the body and is the primary technique used by the doctors in our office.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
This low-force technique utilizes a specialized table that is designed to induce flexion in the spine. The technique, originally developed by Dr. James M. Cox, is based on the application of small, precise amounts of flexion distraction to the part of the spine experiencing disc compression or herniation. As the vertebrae in question are gently pulled away from each other, negative pressure draws the herniated or bulging disc back into position, relieving nerve pressure and pain and moving much-needed fluids back into the disc.
Thompson Technique
The Thompson Technique, or "Drop Table Technique" utilizes a specific function of the adjusting table in which a thrust is applied to a specific area of the spine. The Thompson technique derives its name from the founder, Dr. Clay Thompson, who fully patented this method in 1957. The main areas that are treated are the pelvic, dorsal, and lumbar regions. This method has grown to be loved because it is not painful and uses the least force because the thrust brings about movement whereas the fast drop will help the joint go through the rest of the required motion.
