There are
many different ways of adjusting the spine.
The chosen technique will be based on the presentation of the
patient, their age and their needs.
The adjustment may be carried out with our hands or with the
use of tools such as an activator.
We will always discuss
with you which techniques we have chosen so that you are aware
of what we will be doing.
Determining the appropriate place to adjust is achieved by neurological and muscle testing.
The
tests enable the Chiropractor to determine where to adjust and whether
the adjustment has had it's desired effect.
There are occasions when the adjustment will be delivered to
areas distant to where symptoms may be occurring.
The aim
of the adjustment is not to put bones "back into place" or take
"pressure off a nerves" but to change the balance of the nervous
system that is controlling the muscles that surround the spine.
The restoration of this balance can have far ranging effects
both on the presenting symptoms and on the health of the
patient.
