Chiropractic Adjustments

---

At SPIINE Chiropractic & Performance, our goal is simple: We Fix People in Pain and Help Athletes Get Back in the Game. Whether you're an elite athlete, weekend warrior, or someone looking to move pain-free, our approach combines chiropractic care with cutting-edge therapies to get you feeling and performing your best.

A chiropractic adjustment (also known as spinal manipulation) is a precise, hands-on technique used to restore normal joint movement, reduce pain, and improve function. When joints become restricted due to injury, stress, or poor biomechanics, adjustments help restore mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and optimize performance.

At SPIINE, we use a variety of evidence-based chiropractic techniques tailored to your specific needs:

Diversified Technique

The most widely used chiropractic adjustment method, Diversified Technique involves a hands-on, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to restore joint movement. It often results in a satisfying “pop” or “crack,” which is just gas releasing from the joint. This method is effective for neck pain, back pain, and joint dysfunction.

Instrument-Assisted Adjustments

For patients who prefer a gentler approach, we use precision tools such as:

• Activator Method: A spring-loaded instrument that delivers controlled adjustments, ideal for sensitive areas or conditions like arthritis.
• Impulse Adjusting Tool: A high-speed, low-force instrument that allows for precise spinal and extremity adjustments without twisting or cracking.

Drop-Table Adjustments (Thompson Technique)

This technique uses a specialized drop table that allows for a quick, effective adjustment with less force. The table sections drop slightly as the adjustment is applied, making it a great option for those who need a more comfortable approach.

Flexion-Distraction Technique

This method is especially useful for disc herniations, sciatica, and chronic low back pain. Using a 

specialized table, we gently stretch and flex the spine to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves.

Extremity Adjustments

Athletes and active individuals often experience joint restrictions outside the spine. We also adjust:
✅ Shoulders
✅ Elbows & wrists
✅ Hips
✅ Knees & ankles
By addressing entire movement patterns, we help restore optimal biomechanics and injury resilience.

At SPIINE Chiropractic & Performance, we don’t just adjust the spine—we use a full range of tools to optimize recovery and performance:
✔️ Myofascial Release Therapy – Hands-on treatment to relieve muscle tightness and improve mobility.
✔️ Shockwave Therapy – A high-energy acoustic wave treatment that accelerates healing in chronic injuries like tendonitis and plantar fasciitis.
✔️ Kinesiology Taping (RockTape, KT Tape) – Supports movement while enhancing circulation and reducing pain.
✔️ Rehab & Corrective Exercises – Customized programs to strengthen weak areas, prevent re-injury, and improve mobility.

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter treatments. Every patient is different, and so is our approach. Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to prevent one, or just trying to move and perform better, we create a plan that works for YOU.
