Each Chiropractor at Chiropractic
Touch has a multitude
of techniques to call on. Some use just their hands and sometimes
a specialised instrument or table is utilised. Each patient is
evaluated thoroughly to determine the appopriate technique that is
going to bring them the most benefit.
Principal Chiropractor
Dr Bredin uses very
gentle
techniques to adjust the spine and specializes in one of the most
popular ‘low force’ techniques in the world, utilizing an adjustment
instrument called an Activator
The Activator Methods
Adjusting Instrument is a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a
consistent low-force, high-speed thrust.
Because it’s many times
faster than adjustments delivered by hand, the body rarely tightens to
resist, making adjustments comfortable and effective.
This method of adjusting
will not usually elicit the cracking or popping noise (cavitation), but
it is just as effective as other methods of correcting subluxations.
This instrument is often
useful in babies, the elderly and those who prefer gentle techniques.
Dr Bredin will also
often
refer you to one of our massage therapists if Soft Tissue therapy is
required to help relax tight muscles which are in turn
restricting the spine. She will also advise you on stretches and
exercises you can do at home to help your body support your spine as it
changes.
