Think of an adjustment as tuning a piano, adjusting each string so it produces the perfect tone.

Diversified Technique

At The Chiropractic People, we use an adjusting style commonly referred to as “Diversified.”

First, an analysis of the spine is performed. This can initially involve a case history and X-ray pictures of the spine.

Subsequent visits may include motion palpation, with the chiropractor feeling the spinal joints move as you turn and bend. Or, a leg check may be performed, to uncover an imbalance in the neck or lower spine.

A special hand arrangement called a pisiform contact is used to deliver a specific thrust at the right place and the right time.

With the malposition of one or more spinal bones identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth and angle that are used is the result of experience, practice and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics.

The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from shifting gas and fluids in the joint. This sound may be interesting, but has little meaning as to the value and effectiveness of the adjustment.

While improving spinal biomechanics can reduce nervous system interferences, virtually all joints of the body can be adjusted to help restore proper range of motion.

Dr. Nate Asks some important questions of interest to Geneva residents - Chiropractor Geneva Dr. Nate Asks...

Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Geneva chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Geneva folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
