Diversified Technique

At Wasserman Chiropractic, we use an adjusting style commonly referred to as the ‘Diversified Technique’. This begins with a spinal analysis, a review of your case history and x-rays of your spine. After identifying which spinal segments have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual adjustment is administered to free-up ‘stuck’ joints.

The direction, speed, depth and angle that are used are the result of years of experience, practice and a thorough understanding of spinal biomechanics. The energy delivered during the adjustment may produce a slight ‘popping’ sound from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint. This sound may be interesting, but is not a guide as to the value or effectiveness ofthe adjustment.

Subsequent visits may include motion palpation, with the doctor feeling the spinal joints move as you turn and bend. A leg check may also be utilized to reveal imbalances in the neck or lower spine. While improving spinal biomechanics can reduce nervous system interference, virtually all joints of the body can be adjusted to help restore proper range of motion.
