Gonstead and Diversified techniques are the more traditional hands on techniques most people associate with chiropractic and the most widely used. The Chiropractor will first locate reduced movement at a spinal segment through chiropractic testing and palpation. A specific adjustment is then applied with the hands to restore joint function and alleviate pain.
Diversified
This is the most commonly used adjustment technique by Chiropractors and involves a mixture of both short and long lever manual adjustments to restore proper joint function and alignment to the spine.
