Diversified Technique
Diversified technique is a commonly used adjustment technique by chiropractors. Like many chiropractic and osteopathic manipulative techniques, the Diversified Technique is characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust. It is considered the most generic chiropractic manipulative technique and is differentiated from other techniques in that its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment of spine and joint dysfunction.
An examination may include motion palpation, a leg check, or feeling the spinal joints move as you turn and bend. This helps to uncover any imbalance in the neck or lower spine.
Once the imbalance h as been identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth, and angle used is the result of years of experience, practice and a thorough understanding of the mechanics of the spine.
The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint. With this method, virtually all joints of the body can be adjusted to help restore proper range of motion.
