Diversified Chiropractic and Activator Technique
At River Oaks Chiropractic & Body Works, we offer several different types of techniques. Diversified Chiropractic is among the oldest and most frequently used chiropractic techniques. According to Spine-Health, diversified technique or DCT involves the application of “a short (low-amplitude), quick (high-velocity) thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint.”
Activator Technique:
This is joint mobilization by instrument. The technique is a “non-force technique”. The joints and soft tissues are manipulated by the use of a small machine, which delivers very small impacts on the joints and muscle areas. This is a non-invasive technique is used in situations where the patient requires very gentle thrust to achieve the required results, or diversified manipulation is contraindicated. We have doctors that offer both of these popular techniques.
