DIVERSIFIED TECHNIQUE: Diversified Technique is the
classic Chiropractic technique, developed by D.D.
Palmer, DC. and taught in all Chiropractic collages.
Diversified Technique was refined and developed by the
late Otto Reinhert, DC., to address biomechanical failure
in each section of the spine, as it relates to specific
subluxation. The focus is on restoration to normal
biomechanical function, and correction of subluxation. In
addition, Diversified methods have been developed to
adjust extremity joints, allowing for beneficial applications
in treating sports injuries and other injuries. Diversified
adjusting of the spine uses specific lines of drives for all
manual thrusts, allowing for specificity in correction
mechanical distortions of the spine. X-rays and case
histories are used in analysis and diagnosis. No
instruments are used in the adjusting procedure. Motion
palpatation and full spine, hands-on techniques are used
to deliver a deeper thrust, which makes an osseous
(popping) sound as the adjustment is given.

THOMPSON DROP TECHNIQUE: Thompson Terminal Drop
Technique is built around the research of Dr. Derifield of
Detroit, Michigan. Dr. Derifield noticed that the same
adjustment on two patients with the same analysis did
not always give the same results. As he gained more
experience, he found that the answer lay in determining
through analysis whether the subluxation was lower spine
or cervical. Analysis of the patient's subluxations
using the Derifield Technique depends upon a very accurate
leg check. Dr. Derifield created a set of rules for checking
the legs to determine the point of the subluxation in the
pelvic and lumbar area. It was further determined that turning
the head in certain ways helped to balance the legs. Later, Dr.
Niblo added testing various trigger points on the side of the
short leg, and adjusting the anterior ischium, producing
astonishing results. Using a Thompson terminal point table,
which is especially designated for Derifield technique, a
special weighing mechanism in the terminal point table
weighs the patient and adds only enough tension to hold the
patient in the "up" position before the thrust is given.
FLEXION-DISTRACTION TECHNIQUE: Dr. Cox explains
Flexion-Distraction (also known as Cox Technique), as a
marriage of chiropractic principles with the osteopathic
principles set forth by Alan Stoddard, DO, in his book,
Manual of Osteopathic Technique, written about the
manipulative procedures developed by John McManis,
DO, in the early 1900's. Since the early 1970's, Dr. Cox has
refined the technique, developed a manipulation instrument
for effective use of the technique, conducted clinical studies
as well as participated in experimental, research; lectured
around the world and written well-received articles, chapters
for textbooks and textbooks.

ACTIVATOR METHODS: Activator Methods is based on the postulate that
understanding body mechanics and force is the key to understanding
how to move bones. A leg test is utilized to tell the doctor if the
subluxation exists, chiefly in the lumbo-sacral area or cervical region
of the spine. With further research into body mechanics, W.C. Lee, D.C.
and A.W. Fuhr, D.C. were able to analyze the body and produce from the
analysis consistent changes using a light non-force specific chiropractic
adjustment. Lee and Fuhr understood that force was not necessary to
correct subluxations in the body. Two components are necessary for
fast, effective reduction of nerve pressure caused by subluxations.
They are speed and line of drive. Speed and line of drive are what
make chiropractic the distinct and dynamic art and science that it is.
The activator instrument was designed to deliver this specific dynamic t
hrust. It is a small hand-held, gun-type mechanism that delivers a sharp
percussive thrust upon triggering. The activator instrument controls
the force and speed of the adjustment exceptionally well and with the
activator, the line of drive can be more specific.
