Diversified Technique
Diversified Technique is a widely used type of chiropractic manipulation/adjustment that includes most of the procedures taught at chiropractic schools. This technique is the most commonly used of all chiropractic techniques and is the one probably most familiar to patients. The Diversified manipulation/adjustment uses a high velocity, low-amplitude thrust that typically results in a cavitation of a joint. The doctor will perform a quick, shallow thrust that usually causes the "popping" noise frequently associated with chiropractic adjustments. The Diversified Technique can be used not only to treat the spine, but many of the other joints in the body as well.
