Chiropractic adjustments

Manual adjustments

Manual chiropractic adjustments are the primary care techniques that the chiropractor will perform on their patient, who may be in a standing, sitting or lying position. The chiropractor will adapt their maneuvers to the patient’s morphology, while carefully  applying the force, angle and velocity necessary to maximize the results of the treatment. There are no random manipulations in this treatment. Each movement is calculated and operated smoothly. It is therefore very rare that a chiropractic manipulation causes pain. It is possible that various tools and equipment are used in chiropractic treatments. The choice of the technique depends on the doctor’s preference. More importantly, the technique used will depend on the needs of the patient. The chiropractor is the health professional who holds the most elaborate and complete training to perform spinal care and will make the best decision for you.

Activator methods

Activator methods use the principle of a hammer striking an anvil. Strength and ultra-fast speed allow to correct vertebral subluxations and thus reduce interference in the functionality of the nervous system. This in turn will allow the body to function better.

X-rays

Radiology training is a particularly technique advanced among chiropractic students. It involves 360 hours of courses and a clinical internship, and it affects biophysics, radiation protection, clinical interpretation of X-rays and diagnosis.

Muscle work

ART

This technique involves breaking the adhesions and scar tissues that have settled by sporadic and repetitive injuries, trauma and/or bad posture. This unique approach is also a worldwide reference in the analysis and treatment of soft tissue pathologies (muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves).

Graston

This technique uses stainless steel tools to detect muscle and tendon injuries. These tools are used to remove the adhesions that have formed between the various soft tissues due to trauma, repetitive movements or even excessive stress in the body.

KinesioTaping

Kinesiotaping is a taping method that has been developed to provide better body rehabilitation while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting movement amplitudes, thereby increasing the benefits of the manipulations in the treatment.
