Diversified Technique

What Is the Diversified Technique and How Does it Help?

The Diversified technique is one of the most commonly practiced techniques, not just by our doctor, but by chiropractors around the world. The Diversified technique involves your chiropractor manually placing pressure through the affected vertebral segment in order to restore proper movement.

This technique is a safe and effective way of relieving stiffness and pain. It is also the technique most commonly associated with a “popping” noise, which is simply gas being released from the joint as it is unlocked.

At Weatherley Chiropractic, Dr. Weatherley may perform the Diversified technique following an expert analysis and case history.

What Does the Diversified Technique Involve?

As the name suggests, the diversified technique involves a range of chiropractic adjustments, all of which are used to correct affected vertebral segments. Diversified adjustments involve the delivery a quick and short thrust to the restricted joints, either by hand or with the assistance of a table or block.

A type of high-velocity, low-amplitude adjustment, this technique is delivered at a precise angle, depth, direction and speed, which is determined through years of practice, experience, education, and diagnostic expertise.
