Welcome back to another episode of Mythbuster Monday.
Today I will be discussing the myth that all chiropractors use the same technique.
People who are unfamiliar with chiropractic often associate the chiropractic adjustment
as a "wack em', crack em'" experience; however that is not what chiropractic is
especially in our office.
Chiropractic adjustments are very specific depending on where misalignments are found
and there are actually more than 200 different techniques that chiropractors use.
In our office we use a technique called Torque Release Technique.
With this specific technique, there is actually no rotation of the neck or spine
or harsh movements, which is what most people are worried about.
What does happen in our office is that I follow a neurologically based analysis
which allows me to find the primary area causing an individual's problems
then I use a handheld instrument, called the Integrator,
to complete the adjustment.
I use this technique in our office compared to others because it is highly effective,
provides greater specificity, and requires less force to complete the adjustment.
Another technique used in our office is called the Webster Technique
which I primarily use on pregnant women.
This technique works towards re-establishing balance in the pelvis and sacrum.
Reducing the stress to this joint and supporting ligaments.
This helps to allow for optimal fetal positioning by reducing intrauterine constraint.
If you have further questions about the techniques that we use in our office,
what makes us different, and why we use them
