Types of Adjustments:

The Activator: This is a small hand held instrument that acts like a small mallet. The activator delivers a very specific tap to the area needing an adjustment. This technique is ideal for patients who do not like the twisting, turning and "cracking" associated with other techniques. Activator is also ideal for small children and the elderly as it is a very low force, gentle technique.

Thompson Drop: These are the standard techniques that most chiropractors use. Some Doctors use much more force and twist than others. These techniques can still be performed very gently and usually are still very painless. However, these techniques do require moving the patient into different positions and may require twisting or turning. This is the standard technique that most chiropractors use.

Flexion-Distraction:  This technique is designed for people with low back injuries. It is exactly as its name says a flexion and traction technique.  It aims to reverse spinal disc compression by gently stretching your spine. Flexion Distraction involves using a special table that distracts and flexes the spine in an automated and gentle rhythmic motion.
