Diversified Chiropractic Adjustments
Diversified is a hands-on chiropractic technique that uses precise, controlled adjustments to help improve joint movement and address pain or stiffness. At Surfside Chiropractic, each adjustment is adapted to your condition, comfort level and goals.
What is a Diversified Adjustment
Diversified is a manual chiropractic technique in which the chiropractor applies a quick, controlled movement to a specific spinal or extremity joint. The location, direction and amount of force are selected after considering the patient’s symptoms, health history, examination findings and comfort level.
At Surfside Chiropractic, Diversified adjustments may be used alone or combined with lower-force techniques, soft-tissue care and exercise recommendations. The approach is individualized rather than applied the same way to every patient.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Before treatment, Dr. Baiata will review your symptoms and relevant health history and examine how the affected area moves. If a Diversified adjustment is appropriate, you will be positioned comfortably while a precise, controlled adjustment is applied to the selected joint.
The adjustment may produce a popping sound, although the sound is not the goal or a measure of effectiveness. Your response will be reassessed, and you may receive movement, exercise or activity recommendations based on your needs.
Temporary soreness, stiffness or discomfort can occur following spinal manipulation and typically resolves quickly. Share your health conditions and medications before treatment so the technique can be selected and modified appropriately.
When Diversified Adjustments May Be Used​
Diversified adjustments may be considered as part of care for:
• Lower-back pain or stiffness
• Neck pain or restricted movement
• Certain headaches associated with the neck
• Hip, shoulder or other extremity joint problems
• Discomfort related to work, exercise or everyday activity
The technique selected for each visit depends on your symptoms, examination findings, health history and preferences. Hands-on adjustments may also be combined with lower-force techniques, soft-tissue care and exercise recommendations.
