Chiropractic Care

I administer treatment based upon many factors including the patient's condition and tolerance to treatment. When an adjustment is indicated, I mainly use Diversified technique. Mobilizing a joint may be all that is required, and it can be extremely gentle. It is important to apply the proper amount of force. Too much force can be as detrimental to the results as too little force.

Diversified is the classic chiropractic technique developed by D.D. Palmer, DC and taught in all chiropractic colleges today. Diversified was refined by the late Otto Reinert, DC, to address biomechanical failure in each section of the spine. This focuses on restoration to normal biomechanical function and correction of spinal subluxations.

Diversified methods are also used for adjusting extremity joints and treating sports and other types of injuries. Diversified adjustments of the spine allow for specificity in correcting mechanical distortions of the spine. X-rays and case histories are used for analysis and diagnosis. No instruments are used for adjustment procedures. Motion palpation and full spine, hands-on techniques are used to deliver a deeper thrust.
