This sound may be surprising at first but it’s perfectly natural and expected. When the adjustment is performed these small bubbles then rapidly collapse, producing a popping sound. Small bubbles of joint air form in the synovial fluid and the intra articular space (within-joint). This audible release is caused by a cavitation process whereby a sudden decrease in intracapsular pressure causes dissolved gases in the synovial fluid to be released into the joint cavity. At this point you may hear an audible popping called cavitation. When manually adjusting a patient, the chiropractor will bring a joint to a point of natural resistance and then apply a short thrust past that point of resistance. The 3 main goals of the Diversified technique are to restore proper alignment, revitalize mobility, and reestablish normal joint articulation. The Diversified Technique is a more traditional, hands-on approach to spinal manipulation that utilizes a high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust into the spine or extremities. What is the Diversified Chiropractic Technique and When is it Used? The applied force is localized and does not put the joint in any compromised positions, such as bending or twisting. The lack of muscle resistance may facilitate the treatment’s effectiveness.Ĭontrolled force. The instrument is so quick that the body's muscles are less likely to tense in response, and resist the treatment. There are two theoretical advantages of an activator instrument-assisted treatment:
This instrument allows chiropractors to provide a quick, low-force impulse at specific points. The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique uses a spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument.
The Activator Method is one of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques and the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical trials to support its efficacy. What is the Activator Chiropractic Method and When is it Used? The spine or extremity becomes properly aligned to optimize your body’s physical function by increasing range of motion and reducing spinal or extremity joint pain. Your chiropractor applies a gentle force to the spine or extremity joint for pain relief. What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?Ĭhiropractic adjustments are a drug-free approach for pain relief and mobility recovery. The most common techniques for adjustment include the Activator Method or the Diversified technique. These adjustments reintegrate the nerve supply between the body and brain, enhancing overall wellness. Spinal adjustments reduce nerve blockages that cause pressure on your nervous system and restore normal alignment and function in the spine and other joints throughout the body. Chiropractic adjustments are a natural and easy way to increase spinal mobility, relieve back pain, neck pain, headaches and pain in the extremities.
