Types of Chiropractic adjustments

There are many chiropractic adjustments, but these are the most popular: 

Direct thrust technique
One of the most popular and oldest techniques and is also known as the diversified technique. In this technique, the chiropractor applies rapid thrust to different parts of the spine by using his hands.
Hence, relieving the tension around the area might restore proper movement, circulation, and spine alignment. This technique is known for its cracking sound.
 

Spinal mobilization
It can be a good solution for people having conditions such as osteoporosis, sensitive nervous system, severe pain, or arthritis. All these problems require a gentler approach
The aim of using spinal mobilization is to restore and improve joint function. However, unlike the direct thrust technique, spinal mobilization uses slow movements, gentle thrusts, and more stretching.
 

Articulatory
These are focused on dysfunctional joints and can help to restore them to their proper mobility by moving the joint through the full range of motion to improve mobility.
This technique is about increasing the movement of the joints by using low-velocity force, including the circling of shoulders, ankles, or wrists.
 

Muscle energy technique
The muscle energy technique is about strengthening weak muscles and improving mobility, including the removal of soft tissue pain due to a whiplash injury or reducing muscle spasms
Cervical spine manipulation
Patients suffering from problems in the cervical spine, including headaches, upper back pain, and other conditions, are treated with cervical spinal manipulation. The main focus is to fix spinal misalignments by applying short or sharp movement on joints to restore normal movement.
 

Functional technique
The purpose of using this technique is to improve the overall mobility of joints. A chiropractor moves the joint through its natural range of motion. He will move the joint till he meets the restriction and holds it on the point restriction until it releases.
