What it is
Diversified is a manual, hands-on chiropractic technique that uses specific, controlled, high-velocity low-amplitude thrusts to restore motion to joints that have become restricted. It's the technique most chiropractors learn first and use most often, refined over a century of clinical practice.
What it's used for
- Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine restrictions — the spinal foundation of crash injuries
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction — common after lumbar trauma
- Rib restrictions — common after seatbelt loading
- Extremity joints — shoulder, knee, wrist when indicated
What a session looks like
You're positioned to isolate the joint being treated. The contact is brief and specific. Many patients hear or feel a "click" or "pop" — this is gas being released from joint fluid, similar to cracking a knuckle. It is not the sound of anything breaking or being moved out of place.
Most patients find adjustments comfortable. Some experience mild soreness for 24 hours afterward, similar to post-exercise soreness.
What the evidence says
Diversified adjustments performed by a trained chiropractor on appropriately screened patients have a strong safety profile. We screen for contraindications (vascular conditions, severe osteoporosis, fracture, inflammatory conditions in active flare) before adjusting. If something isn't safe to adjust, we don't.
