Which Chiropractic technique is right for you?
Chiropractic care isn’t “one-size-fits-all.”
At True Health, we prioritise individualised care, ensuring that treatment is tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
The technique used in any given session is typically selected based on factors such as the patient’s age, health status, and personal preferences.
Chiropractors are trained in various methods, some of which are gentle and low-force, while others involve more traditional manual adjustments.
The most effective approach can vary from person to person, allowing for personalized treatment that best suits individual needs.
The Activator Method is a widely used instrument-assisted technique that delivers controlled, low-force impulses to specific areas of the spine or joints. This method is suitable for:
✅ Ideal for those who prefer a softer touch
✅ Great for kids and elderly patients
✅ Patients with health conditions requiring low-force
Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) involves the use of padded blocks placed under the pelvis to help the spine and nervous system return to balance naturally. This technique is beneficial for:
✅ Patients with postural imbalances.
✅ Individuals experiencing pelvic misalignment or spinal tension.
✅ Those seeking a gentle and non-invasive approach.
The Thompson Technique uses a specialised drop table, where specific sections of the table lower slightly as the chiropractor applies pressure. This technique is useful for:
✅ Patients who require a lighter, controlled adjustment.
✅ Individuals with pelvic or spinal alignment concerns.
✅ Those who prefer a method with reduced force impact.
The Diversified Technique is the most commonly used method. It involves precise hands-on spinal manipulations to improve mobility and function. This approach is often suitable for:
✅ Patients with restricted joint movement.
✅ Individuals with chronic back or neck discomfort.
✅ Those who are comfortable with traditional spinal adjustments.
Chiropractic care involves a variety of techniques, each with its own benefits.
