How Does a Chiropractor Adjust Your Back?

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.

  1. 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.
