This is the most common technique of spine manipulation in chiropractic care and has a very high success rate. It is characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust.
Thompson Technique:
Also known as the “Thompson Drop” technique, it utilizes a table where portions of the patient’s body are adjusted as the table moves under specific parts of the spine.
Activator Method Chiropractic Technique (AMCT):
This softer chiropractic technique can be used instead of manual chiropractic care. The technique uses a handheld spring-loaded instrument to deliver a small impulse to the spine. This technique produces enough force to move the vertebrae without causing injury.
Applied Kinesiology (AK):
This technique tests muscle strength in the belief that certain muscles are related to certain internal organs.
Webster technique:
This technique has a very particular purpose, in that it was developed for pregnant woman.
Active Release Technique (ART)/Myofascial release:
This technique is not the same as a massage, in that it relaxes the connective tissues of the body from over-used muscles that cause pain in the patient.
