The Diversified Technique for Low Back Pain
Chiropractic adjustments are a nonsurgical, drug-free treatment option for chronic or acute low back pain. The Diversified Technique is a method of chiropractic adjustments that uses manual pressure to restore proper movement, balance, and function to key areas of the spine. At Levinson Chiropractic, our chiropractor Dr. Helene Levinson has more than three decades of experience performing the Diversified Technique in Sandy Springs, GA. Here is a look at how the Diversified Technique can help you find relief from lower back pain.
What Is the Diversified Technique?
The Diversified Technique is one of a few common methods of performing chiropractic adjustments. When using this method, Dr. Levinson uses her hands to apply fast, short, targeted pressure to specific vertebrae in the spine. This releases gas from the joints, promotes proper spinal alignment, and restores balance and function to the spine. This type of adjustment is considered a low-amplitude, high-velocity adjustment and Dr. Levinson ensures it is delivered at a very specific angle, depth, direction, and speed based on the underlying cause of your low back pain and the severity and range of your symptoms. After an adjustment using the Diversified Technique, you will have increased range of motion and reduced pain and inflammation.
Who Should Consider the Diversified Technique?
You should consider the Diversified Technique if you have low back pain due to:
- Poor posture
- Obesity
- A sedentary lifestyle
- An underlying spinal condition like arthritis of the spine or spondylolisthesis
- Spinal arthritis
- Sciatica
- Sports injury
- Work injury
- Auto injury
- Repetitive stress or overuse injury
- Spinal trauma
- Nerve pain
What to Expect During Chiropractic Treatment
During an adjustment, Dr. Levinson will guide you on how to position your body. She will let you know where she is going to apply force and what to expect. The way she positions your body will optimize the efficacy of the adjustment. She will apply short, fast thrusts over affected joints and vertebrae using her hands. This will restore range of motion and relieve pain.
Is the Diversified Technique Safe?
Yes, the Diversified Technique is safe and painless. Most people experience a significant feeling of relief after an adjustment, and they can move around easier.
