How Diversified Technique Works

A chiropractor thoroughly examines the patient's medical history, family history, and signs or symptoms that help determine the problem. They also perform physical examinations and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays and MRIs, to understand the patient's source of pain or other symptoms and rule out other conditions.

The idea is to understand the spine's condition and identify areas of adjustment. The chiropractor uses high velocity with low amplitude thrust adjustment to misaligned joints or vertebrae to help the patient find relief. A popping sound comes when the pressure changes in the joint, releasing nitrogen gas. This often provides comfort and immediate improvement in the spinal area. The adjustment is performed depending on the patient's problematic area.

Chiropractic adjustments are performed to decrease pain inflammation, restore joint biomechanics, and work on muscle spasms. The idea is to restore normal movement and help the patient's overall well-being.

Diversified Technique Clinical FAQs

Why is diversified the most commonly taught chiropractic adjusting method?

Diversified technique forms the foundation of chiropractic education because it's versatile and adaptable. Most graduates from chiropractic colleges learn this hands-on approach first, making it widely available at clinics like Shapero Chiropractic in the Financial District, Downtown San Francisco.

What specific hand positions and contact points define diversified adjustments?

We use precise pisiform, thenar, or digital contacts on specific spinal segments. Each contact is designed to create a specific line of drive that restores normal joint motion without excessive force.

How do you determine which spinal segments need diversified adjustment during an exam?

Through static and motion palpation, we identify restricted joints with abnormal end-feel. We combine this with orthopedic testing and observation to pinpoint exactly where segmental dysfunction exists before adjusting.

Can diversified adjustments be modified for patients with osteoporosis or arthritis?

Yes, we use lighter forces and different contact points for fragile joints. The adaptability of diversified technique allows us to adjust pressure and vector based on individual bone density and joint health.

What role do diversified adjustments play in overall treatment plans?

While chiropractic adjustments are central, they're integrated with rehabilitative exercises, lifestyle advice, and other modalities. We view adjustments as one component of comprehensive care that addresses both structure and function.

How does diversified technique address extremity joints like shoulders or knees?

The same principles apply to extremity adjusting. We use specific contacts and leverages to restore normal motion in peripheral joints, often complementing spinal care for full-body alignment.

What continuing education do chiropractors complete for diversified proficiency?

Beyond doctoral training, many chiropractors pursue advanced courses in specific diversified applications. Our team at Shapero Chiropractic regularly updates skills through seminars and peer-review sessions.

How do you assess the effectiveness of a diversified adjustment immediately after delivery?

We re-check joint motion, end-feel, and any associated muscle tension changes. Patient feedback about relief or increased mobility also guides our assessment of adjustment effectiveness.
