Chiropractic adjustments are not all built the same. Many people do not realize the impact of manual therapy or how much manual therapy can play a role in one's healing journey. Whether you experience back, neck, shoulder, or head pain, you will find that spinal manipulation offers several benefits. There are dozens of spinal manipulation techniques that are used to treat pain. Houston County Chiropractic in Dothan provides chiropractic care in many forms. Our chiropractors have gathered some of the spinal adjustment techniques we may use to treat your injury or ailment.

Direct Thrust Technique

The diversified technique, also known as the direct thrust technique, is one of the most common types of chiropractic adjustment. Most chiropractors use this treatment which involves a quick thrust to the back and aligns the spine. If you have a serious misalignment in your back, this technique can greatly improve your mobility and range of motion.

Spinal Mobilization

Spinal mobilization uses a technique very similar to the direct thrust spinal adjustment technique, but it is much more gentle. This technique involves more stretching to loosen and lengthen the muscles. This makes it a safer option for some patients.

Flexion-Distraction

The flexion-distraction, or Cox technique, involves stretching the back and adjusting the skull. If you have a condition that affects your neck and upper back, flexion-distraction may be the best course of action.

Gonstead Chiropractic Adjustment

The Gonstead technique is also very popular. This is a manual technique that involves analyzing the spine before aligning it. The goal of this form of adjustment is to reduce inflammation and pain in the back.
