Understanding Chiropractic Adjustments: Techniques & Benefits

Chiropractors are highly-skilled doctors that aim to relieve pain, pressure and restricted movement of the spine. It is a profession that is far more than making cracks and pops in the patient's spinal region. There are several varied techniques a chiropractor can use to help relieve their patient's symptoms.

Bio-energetic Synchronization Technique

• This involves the chiropractor applying subtle but precise pressure to the spine to release unblocked nerve energy. This will block any interference and restore balance to the nervous system.

Cox-Flexion Distraction

• This involves stretching the spine to relieve lower back pain.

Palmer Toggle Recoil Technique

• This involves speed and precision. The hands are placed over the sublaxation or point of pressure. The elbows are snapped for pressure but there is no cracking.

Logan Based Technique

• This involves gentle, sustained pressure at the base of your spine. It works on the premise that one the lower back is corrected then the rest will adjust.

Nimmo Technique

• This involves gentle pressure to the tender areas. The goal is to release muscles from spasms.
