What is Manual Adjusting in Waukee IA?

Manual chiropractic adjustments use the doctor’s hands to apply a specific, high-velocity, low-amplitude force to joints that are restricted or misaligned. This quick, intentional motion helps restore proper movement patterns, reduce pressure on nerves, and improve overall function. Unlike instrument-based techniques like Activator, manual adjusting gives patients a tactile, immediate sense of relief and correction.

Techniques We Use

Palmer Package: The Palmer Package is a comprehensive set of manual adjusting techniques taught at Palmer College of Chiropractic—our founder's alma mater. It includes:

• Diversified: A precise, hands-on full spine technique, widely used for its effectiveness and versatility.
• Gonstead: Focused on specific vertebral misalignments using motion and X-ray analysis.
• Thompson Drop: Uses a special drop table to enhance the thrust and minimize patient discomfort.
• Toggle Recoil: A specialized upper cervical technique used for adjusting the atlas (C1) and axis (C2).

Diversified Technique: Diversified is the most widely practiced manual chiropractic technique. It involves detailed palpation and motion testing to identify spinal restrictions, followed by quick, high-velocity adjustments to restore movement and alignment. You may hear a “pop”—that’s just gas releasing from the joint space, not bones cracking!
