The Thompson technique was developed by Dr J. Clay Thompson in the 1950s.

This technique uses a special table called the Thompson table. This table is equipped with a clamping system that allows the tension to be adjusted on the patient during the adjustment.

The Thompson technique is often used to treat back pain, headaches, neck pain and other musculoskeletal disorders. It is considered a safe and gentle method.

It is important to note that each patient is unique and the chiropractor can adapt the Thompson technique to your specific needs.

The Diversified technique was developed by Dr David Palmer, the founder of modern chiropractic.

The diversified technique is based on the use of rapid and precise manual pressure on the joints. The chiropractor uses his hands to exert controlled and specific pressure on the vertebra or joint to be adjusted, while using rapid and specific movements to correct the position of the bones.

The aim of the diversified technique is to restore joint mobility and alignment, relieve pain, improve nervous system function and restore the body’s postural balance.

When a patient receives diversified manipulation, they may feel a slight pressure or ‘popping’ sensation as the joints are adjusted. This sensation is generally painless and is due to the release of gases dissolved in the synovial fluid, a liquid present in the joints.

The Diversified technique is used to treat a range of conditions including back pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder and hip pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.

The Sacrooccipital Technique (SOT) is an advanced chiropractic method that uses a holistic approach to assess and treat musculoskeletal disorders. It was developed by Dr Major Bertrand De Jarnette in the 1920s.

The SOT technique aims to correct imbalances in the sacro-occipital system, which includes the sacrum (the triangle-shaped bone at the base of the spine) and the occiput (the bone at the back of the head).

During an SOT session, the chiropractor uses gentle manual techniques to adjust the position of the sacrum and occiput. The chiropractor also uses blocks to support the patient’s body and help correct imbalances. These blocks are placed under different parts of the body, including the feet, legs and pelvis, to realign the spine and restore balance to the nervous system.

The SOT technique is often used to treat a range of conditions including back pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder and hip pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. It can also be used to treat dysfunctions of the internal organs and digestive system.

The Gonstead technique was developed by Dr Clarence S. Gonstead in the 1950s. It is considered to be one of the most precise and effective chiropractic techniques.

The Gonstead technique is based on the idea that the spine is the cornerstone of the body’s health and that misalignments of the spine (called subluxations) can cause functional disorders in the body. The aim of the Gonstead technique is to locate and correct these subluxations in order to restore the body’s normal function.

During a Gonstead session, the chiropractor performs a thorough assessment of the patient’s spine, using manual techniques and diagnostic equipment. The chiropractor looks for specific misalignments of the spine and then uses precise manual adjustments to correct these misalignments.

The chiropractor also uses a variety of techniques to adjust different parts of the spine, including specific adjustments of the sacroiliac joints and intervertebral discs.

The Gonstead technique is often used to treat a variety of conditions such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder and hip pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. It can also be used to treat dysfunctions of the internal organs and digestive system.

The AK (Applied Kinesiology) technique is a diagnostic tool that uses muscle testing to assess the patient’s state of health and determine imbalances in the musculoskeletal system.

The chiropractor performs a muscle test by applying light pressure to a specific muscle, while asking the patient to resist the pressure. The muscular response is observed and used to assess imbalances in the musculoskeletal system.

Once the imbalances have been identified, the chiropractor can use various manual techniques to treat the musculoskeletal disorders. The techniques used may include spinal adjustments, massage, stretching and rehabilitation exercises.

The AK technique is often used to treat a variety of conditions such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder and hip pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. It can also be used to treat dysfunctions of the internal organs and digestive system.

The Activator technique is a chiropractic technique that uses an instrument called an Activator to adjust vertebrae and joints. This instrument is designed to apply a precise and controlled force to the target area, thereby correcting misalignments or joint dysfunctions.

During a chiropractic session using the Activator technique, the chiropractor first assesses the patient’s condition using movement tests, palpation and other physical examinations. He then uses the Activator to apply rapid, controlled force to the target areas. Adjustment occurs when the Activator applies a pulse to the surface of the skin, activating sensory receptors in the target area.

The Activator technique is considered a gentle alternative to manual spinal manipulation, which can be uncomfortable for some people. It is also suitable for people with health problems that may prevent them from undergoing manual spinal manipulation.
