This or That?! Which Chiropractic Adjustment is Your Favorite?

Published July 22nd, 2024 by Dr. Sam Camarata

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we understand that every patient is unique, and so are their preferences for chiropractic care. That’s why we offer a variety of adjustment techniques to suit your individual needs. Let's dive into the different types of adjustments we provide and how we determine the best approach for you.

Set 1: Instrument Assisted Chiropractic Adjustments vs. Hands-On Chiropractic Adjustments

Instrument Assisted Chiropractic Adjustments:

  • Lower Force: These adjustments use specialized instruments to apply a controlled, gentle force to the spine.
  • Precision: Ideal for those who prefer a more precise and less intensive approach, ensuring targeted adjustments with minimal discomfort.
  • Ideal for: Patients who might be sensitive to manual adjustments or have specific needs for precision and gentleness.
  • Specific chiropractic techniques involve their own instrument for spine and nervous system balancing and correction such as: Torque Release Technique, Activator & more.

Hands-On Chiropractic Adjustments:

  • Traditional Feel: This method involves the chiropractor using their hands to perform the adjustment.
  • Bigger Adjustments: Provides a more traditional chiropractic experience.
  • Ideal for: Patients who enjoy the direct, hands-on approach and the physical aspect of manual adjustments and for those that need more intensive care based on history, exam, x-rays and goals for care.
  • Diversified chiropractic technique is a hands-on chiropractic technique that works great for improving spine and extremity mobility while decreasing pain and inflammation and improving nervous system function.

Set 2: Instrument Assisted Precision Adjustments vs. Y-Strap Spinal Decompression Technique

Instrument Assisted Precision Adjustments:

  • Lower Force: Uses instruments to deliver highly precise adjustments.
  • Targeted: Perfect for those seeking accuracy and a gentle touch.
  • Ideal for: Patients who need specific, targeted care and prefer a less forceful method.

Y-Strap Spinal Decompression Technique:

  • Bigger Type of Adjustment: Involves a decompression technique using the Y-Strap to apply a gentle, controlled decompression to the spine.
  • Effective for Spinal Decompression: Helps alleviate pressure and pain in the spine, making it great for those needing more intensive care.
  • Ideal for: Patients with conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, or those who need significant spinal decompression.

The Choice is Yours!

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we believe in providing personalized care tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Every person has their own unique preference when it comes to chiropractic adjustments, and we are here to accommodate those preferences.

During your chiropractic visit, we will have a detailed discussion with you about your health history and perform a comprehensive assessment to determine the best combination of techniques for YOU. Our assessments include:

  • History and Spinal Exam: Reviewing your medical history and conducting a thorough examination of your spine.
  • X-Rays: Taking digital x-rays if needed to get a clear view of your spine’s alignment and any potential issues.
  • Posture Exam: Evaluating your posture to identify any misalignments or imbalances.
  • Mobility Screening: Checking the range of motion in your spine and joints.
  • Joint Assessment: Assessing the function and health of your joints.
  • Nervous System Assessment: Using nerve scan technology to detect inflammation and "hot spots" in the spine.
  • Muscle Imbalance Evaluation: Identifying any muscle imbalances that might be contributing to your discomfort.
