The 5 Techniques used:
- Gonstead technique: This hands-on technique often involves adjusting the lower back or pelvis as the patient lies on his side. Dr. Eiland uses it to realign joints, reduce pain and stiffness, and increase mobility.
- Activator technique: A handheld adjusting instrument delivers a gentle impulse into the vertebral segments of the spine or the extremities. The force feels like a light thumping sensation when used to treat everything from low back pain to inevitable headaches, like migraines. It is very comfortable for the patient and an excellent choice for seniors.
- Flexion distraction, Cox Technic, or decompression manipulation: is a method of choice when treating disc herniations, facet joint pain, scoliosis, and other conditions. Patients should expect to feel a gentle stretching motion. This technique requires a specially designed adjusting table.
- The Thompson, or drop table technique: involves a specially adapted table with padded platforms designed to lower a fraction of an inch when the chiropractor applies a quick thrust to adjust. The subtle dropping motion, which patients feel as vibration, makes it very comfortable for most patients. It can be used for the spine or extremities.
- Diversified technique: This feels similar to the Gonstead technique. It’s considered the most widely used technique involving precise hands-on thrusts to restore proper movement and alignment to the spine.
