About
Chiropractors are trained in the diagnosis and
treatment of conditions which are due to
mechanical dysfunction of the joints and their
effects on the nervous system.
3
Blocking Techniques
Whilst the patient is lying down, wooden wedges
are skilfully placed in certain positions under
the pelvis. The pelvis is thus balanced gently
and naturally, using the patients own
bodyweight. This aims to restore natural
alignment and balance of the spine and pelvis
and thus normalise flow of CSF, an essential
nutrient- carrying fluid which bathes the brain
and spinal cord.
4
Drop Techniques
A specific technique for adjustment of the full
spine on a special table. The adjusting table
with a segmented drop system quickly lowers the
section of the patients body corresponding with
the spinal region being adjusted. The
chiropractors thrusts (using minimal force)
initiates movement, and the fast drop of the
table carries the joint through the remainder of
its range of motion.

Diversified
This is the most common non-specific technique
used by most general practice chiropractors. It
is a technique which may utilise more than one
method. It will involve spinal adjustment, and
generally results in a popping sound.

Activator Technique
Activator technique is a gentle, low-force
program of chiropractic care that was developed
in the late 1960s. The Activator technique uses
a unique system of administering spinal
adjustments using Activator analysis and an
Activator instrument to initiate the correct
movement of the vertebra in a predetermined
direction.

Can Common Chiropractic Adjustments Help With
Sitting Posture?
Most people in the current era are required to be
seated for the majority of their working hours.
Be it seated at your desk or in front of your
television, ones spinal health is ultimately
defined by practising good sitting posture.

Conclusion
In summary, the chair you use should have a
backrest that fits into the curve of your lower
back so that it provides lumbar support. This
prevents fatigue in the back muscles and
prevents pressure on the spine. You can use a
rolled towel or purchase a lumbar support pillow
if your chair does not provide this type of
support.
