Diversified Technique

The Diversified Technique, often considered the cornerstone of manual chiropractic care, is a hands-on spinal adjustment method used to restore proper joint movement, relieve pain, and support whole-body wellness. At Align Chiropractic, this technique is personalized for every patient, helping improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and encourage the body’s natural ability to heal.

How It Works
Diversified Technique Overview
Diversified Technique (also known as manual adjusting) is one of the most widely used and well-researched chiropractic methods. By using precise, targeted adjustments, our chiropractors help realign joints that have become restricted due to injury, poor posture, stress, or repetitive strain. Restoring proper motion reduces inflammation, improves biomechanics, and decreases pain—allowing you to move more freely and function at your best. At Align Chiropractic, Diversified Technique is rarely used in isolation. Dr. Lockwood and Dr. Jeffers integrate it with soft tissue therapy, therapeutic exercise, lifestyle recommendations, and other chiropractic tools to address the root cause of pain—not just the symptoms. Each adjustment is tailored to your comfort level, health history, and unique movement patterns to create a safe, effective, whole-body treatment plan.

- Mid-back tension or restricted movement

Frequently Asked Questions

Diversified Technique FAQs

Please see below for answers to some of the most common questions we receive about Diversified Technique.

What is the Diversified Technique?
The Diversified Technique is a hands-on chiropractic adjustment that helps restore proper joint motion and alignment. It uses quick, precise movements to correct restrictions caused by injury, overuse, or poor posture.
Does the adjustment hurt?
Most patients describe Diversified adjustments as relieving, not painful. You may feel a quick release of pressure or hear a popping sound, which is simply gas escaping from the joint—not bones “cracking.”
What conditions does Diversified Technique help with?
It is especially effective for neck pain, low back pain, headaches, postural strain, sciatica, and general joint restrictions. It is commonly used for both acute injuries and chronic pain.
Will I receive other treatments during my appointment?
Yes. While Diversified Technique is a core chiropractic method, our providers also incorporate soft tissue therapy, rehab exercises, lifestyle guidance, and other modalities to support whole-body healing.
How quickly will I feel relief?
Many patients feel better after their first session, while others notice steady improvement over several visits. Your results depend on the underlying cause of your pain, your lifestyle, and your overall treatment plan.
Is Diversified Technique safe?
When performed by a licensed chiropractor, Diversified Technique is considered very safe. We always evaluate your health history, movement patterns, and comfort level before recommending any manual adjustment.
