The Diversified Technique
For improving freedom of movement, relieving discomfort, or recovering from minor injuries.
A very popular method used by many chiropractors in the profession. This hands-on practice is often used to relieve pain, improve movement and align the spine. The Diversified Technique involves a quick, controlled thrust aimed to adjust the joints. This may result in the well-known ‘popping’ or ‘cracking’ sound caused by gas leaving the joints.
Most of the time, this technique is used to treat back and neck pain, headaches and posture issues. It’s particularly useful for people who have suffered minor injury or physical wear and tear, such as hurting your back, lifting something heavy, or experiencing postural discomfort.

The Thompson Technique
For gentle, precise adjustments to the spine.
Using what is known as a ‘drop table’, The Thompson technique is often used for conditions that are more fragile (such as children or the elderly), or patients experiencing chronic pain. The drop table has different sections that can be dropped when a chiropractic adjustment is made directly on top of it. This drop adds momentum to the adjustment, making movements smoother and more controlled.
This method can be used to treat lower back pain, hip pain, leg length discrepancies, and headaches caused by spinal issues. It’s particularly ideal for patients with delicate conditions such as osteoporosis, where force is less preferable.

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)
Often used to treat conditions related to the nervous system, or chronic pain. A more gentle technique suitable for pregnant women and children.
SOT treatment focuses on the relationship between the base of your spine and the base of your skull. It aims to balance the pelvis and skull to improve overall body function and the nervous system. More gentle than other popular methods, a patient is placed on padded blocks under the pelvis while they lay on their stomach. Laying in this position, their own weight will encourage natural alignments in the body. This may help nerve related issues, jaw pain, and pelvic issues.

Myofascial Release
May prove efficient for patients with chronic pain, sports injury, and poor posture.
As a more hands-on approach from our techniques, myofascial release focuses on relieving fascia - the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles. When this tissue tightens, it can result in a feeling of muscle tension and reduced mobility. This treatment aims to reduce that tension by targeting trigger points in the body. By applying slow, sustained, pressure on these knotted areas, it is similar to a deep tissue massage used to relieve tightened fascia in the body.
This method would be best suited to conditions with widespread pain such as fibromyalgia, scar tissue or adhesions that restrict movement, and sports injury.
