Who is here for the cracks?
Volume UP to hear the big sound effects!
With Diversified technique, there often are sound effects when adjusting a healthy but restricted joint, no microphone required here...
Sometimes adjustments will create a sound from the joint cavitation, but this highly satisfying sound and feeling is not the indication that an adjustment has happened or that it will have a positive effect on your body. The sound is literally gas leaving the joint space.
There are benefits of manual by hand adjustments
1. Natural Endorphin release
2. Increased range of motion
3. Stimulation of afferent nerve receptors within the central nervous system
4. Hands on therapy where your skilled chiropractor can dial in the perfect level of speed, force and line of drive to make the adjustment as confortable and effective for the patient as possible
In addition to Diversified technique, flexion distraction technique is used to stretch the spine and assess where the patient needs to be adjusted based on where her movement is restricted down to the specific spinal level. This is especially good for athletes or patients with spinal disc compression to gently adjust their spine and restore normal mobility without using excessive force or compromising positions.
