Acupuncture/Dry Needling
This technique combines modern western Trigger Point theories with traditional
Chinese Acupuncture. Fine needles are inserted to stimulate acupuncture points,
creating a small inflammatory reaction and stimulating the body's own pain
relieving and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
Acupuncture/Dry Needling works in this instance by inhibiting some of the body's
responses to the problem, particularly muscle spasm and so relieving some of the
pain and thus allowing the Chiropractic Adjustments to work unopposed.
Drop Techniques
A specific technique for adjustment of the full spine on a special table. The
adjusting table with a segmented drop system quickly lowers the section of the
patient’s body corresponding with the spinal region being adjusted.
The chiropractor's thrusts (using minimal force) initiates movement, and the
fast drop of the table carries the joint through the remainder of its range of
motion.
Diversified
This is the most common non-specific technique used by most general practice
chiropractors. It is a technique which may utilise more than one method. It will
involve spinal adjustment, and generally results in a popping sound.
Activator
The
Activator is a handheld mechanical instrument which is used to manipulate the
joints. It is a gentle low force technique which is used by over 30,000
Chiropractors worldwide.
