Manual treatments involve the use of your chiropractor’s hands or small instruments to improve your body’s physical function
chiropractic adjustments
Diversified Adjustments
A treatment method where we apply a fast, low force thrust to the affected joint or area to restore function.
Adjusting Instrument
A technique that involves using a mechanical instrument that sends gentle pulses to the affected joints.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Similar to massage therapy, soft tissue therapy is used to warm up the muscles in preparation for the adjustment and stretch out affected tissue.
Flexion/Distraction Table
These are mechanical tables that gently stretch and reduce pressure in the lower back.
Drop Table
These specialized table pieces utilize your body weight to provide a gentle adjustment without a popping sound.
What does an adjustment feel like?
What is the cracking sound and do I have to get cracked?
Some chiropractic adjustments cause a cracking sound. This happens because, when a joint is adjusted, there is a release of gas pressure which can cause a cavitation or “pop”. The purpose of an adjustment is to normalize the movement and alignment of the joint and stimulate the nervous system.
If we determine chiropractic adjustments would benefit you, we will recommend it as part of your treatment plan. If you prefer, we can use other effective techniques (like mobilizations, instrument adjusting and/or stretching) that don’t involve cracking or popping.
