Diversified Technique
The goal of the Diversified Technique is to reduce nerve interference. Patients are assessed using these various mechanisms: history, posture, range of motion, palpation, X-ray if needed, leg checks and muscle tone balance.
The majority of adjustments used in Diversified are manual adjustments, HVLA (high velocity, low amplitude), or long lever manipulations aimed at cavitating the joint and creating an audible release. This sound is known by patients as the “popping” or “cracking” sound associated with adjustments. Some chiropractors utilize specialized equipment such as drop tables or pelvic blocks.
Diversified care provides both short term pain relief and ongoing structural and functional benefits when care happens at proactively regular intervals.
