Chiropractic Techniques
At Heart & Soul Chiropractic, our Chiropractors utilise a wide range of techniques to ensure that every one of her patients receive the exact right care they require and most importantly, that they feel comfortable with.
Diversified
The most common form of chiropractic care administered in practices throughout the world. Quite literally a “hands on” approach. The manual adjusting technique requires the chiropractor to directly apply gentle pressure to misaligned areas of the body using their hands.
​
Sacro Occipital Technique
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) is a gentle chiropractic technique that addresses the functional relationship between the Sacrum (base of the spine) the pelvis and the occiput (base of the skull). A function of the sacrum is to pump Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) from the base of the spine, up the spinal canal to the brain and throughout the nervous system.
Thompson Technique
The Thompson Technique is a full-spine chiropractic adjusting technique that uses high-velocity, low amplitude, adjusting procedure using a drop table to assist in the correction of a restricted joint.
Activator Adjusting
Activator adjusting is a type of manual manipulation treatment used by chiropractors to treat various types of back and neck pain, as well as extremity complaints. This treatment method uses the activator adjusting instrument, a hand-held device which is an alternative to traditional manipulation.
Arthrostim Adjusting
The Arthrostim instrument is a hand-held machine that delivers 12-14 thrusts per second, therefore the pressure is only mildly felt by the patient. Due to the repetitiveness of this instrument, the neurologic feedback of neurological receptors is constant and ongoing throughout the treatment, allowing for an effective result of pain relief and healing.
Flexion Distraction
Flexion Distraction involves using a specialized table that distracts and flexes the spine in a gentle rhythmic motion. The goal is to allow the spine to move correctly in a manner that will remove pressure from the disc bulge or area of degeneration. It does this by creating a negative pressure that aims
to make changes to the disc.
