Chiropractic Techniques
Manual Adjusting
Traditional hands-on chiropractic adjusting using controlled, specific forces.
Manual adjusting is the traditional hands-on approach to chiropractic care, where the doctor uses his hands to deliver a specific adjustment to a joint.
The amount of force and the style of adjustment are adapted to the individual — your findings, your history and what your body responds to.
How we decide
Which technique is used — and how much force is involved — is a clinical decision based on your evaluation findings, your history and your body, not simply a preference for a particular kind of adjustment.
