Traditional and Advanced Treatments
 DIVERSIFIED This is a widely used type of chiropractic manipulation/adjustment that includes
most of the procedures taught at chiropractic schools. This technique is the most commonly used of all chiropractic
techniques and is the one probably most familiar to patients. The Diversified manipulation/adjustment entails a high-velocity,
low-amplitude thrust that usually results in a cavitation of a joint (quick, shallow thrusts that cause the popping noise
often associated with a chiropractic manipulation/adjustment). As the name implies, the Diversified Technique can be
used to treat many of the joints in the body.
THOMPSON This is a specific chiropractic method and is a variation of the Diversified technique that uses a special table with several segments called drop pieces. These segments can be cocked up a fraction of an inch, so when the thrust is delivered, the table will drop this fraction of an inch. The drop pieces assist the thrust while minimizing the force used for the manipulation/adjustment. Cavitation of the joint may or may not occur. SOT Sacro Occipital Technique is a specific chiropractic technique that uses triangular-shaped blocks usually placed under the pelvis of the prone patient to treat problems identified in the low back. This is a light force soft tissue manipulation/adjustment.  APPLIED
KINESIOLOGY A.K. is an approach to chiropractic treatment in which several specific procedures may be combined. Diversified manipulative/adjusting techniques may be used with nutritional interventions, together with light massage of various points referred to as neurolymphatic and neurovascular points. Clinical decision- making is often based on testing and evaluating muscle strength. Visit www.acatoday.com for information on the above techniques.
BRIMHALL The Brimhall technique uses Six Steps to Wellness. This comprehensive program is the result of thirty-five years of intensive research by Dr. John Brimhall of Mesa, AZ. The protocol includes: Structure, Electro Magnetic Therapy, Nutrition, Emotional Therapy, Detoxification, Allergies and Sensitivities. www.sixstepstowellness.com BIO CRANIAL The Bio Cranial System is a therapeutic protocol that helps the body to correct and heal itself by applying a specific technique directly to the bones of the head (cranium). The Bio Cranial System was developed by Dr. Robert Boyd and is based on the research conducted at the International Bio Cranial Academy located in the United Kingdom. www.biocranial.com  TOTAL BODY MODIFICATION TBM combines techniques of the old chiropractic masters with modern technology. This very sophisticated system of kinesiological testing (muscle testing) enables the practitioner to discover imbalances or blockages impairing optimum health and function. TBM is able to evaluate, reset and rebalance internal organs and most of the known body functions by stimulating reflex points located along the spine which will correct imbalances of functional physiology. www.tbmseminars.com NEURO-EMOTIONAL TECHNIQUE N.E.T. is a safe, gentle, effective, non-psychological procedure that addresses the emotional component, the third leg of the triangle of health with a spinal adjustment. The N.E.T. doctor uses muscle testing, body reflex points, and semantic reactions. The spinal adjustment stablizes the subluxation (which causes diminished nerve and organ function), as well as resolving muscle and meridian imbalances. www.netmindbody.com/patients DISCLAIMER: No individuals, including those under our active care, should use the information, resources, or tools contained within to self-diagnose or self-treat any health-related condition.
