How is a chiropractic manipulation performed?
Chiropractic manipulation is a hands-on, manual procedure that uses highly refined skills. The doctor’s hands are used to adjust the spine or joints in the extremities. Each manipulation uses a controlled thrust of varying velocity, which is adjusted to the patient’s condition, or the doctor may use an instrument or a movable table to adjust specific joints. There are approximately twenty different chiropractic techniques and most doctors utilize a combination of these techniques to treat patients.
