Diversified: involves applying a manual thrust to correct spinal misalignments, based on a thorough spine analysis.

The Diversified Technique is a widely practiced chiropractic method that focuses on the manual adjustment of the spine and other joints to restore proper alignment and function. Developed by Dr. D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, and refined by subsequent practitioners, the Diversified Technique is characterized by several key features:

1. Hands-On Adjustments: Chiropractors use their hands to apply a quick, precise thrust to specific vertebrae or joints that are identified as misaligned (subluxated).

2. Patient Positioning: Patients are typically positioned lying face down or seated, depending on the area of the spine or joint being adjusted. The chiropractor carefully positions the patient to optimize the effectiveness of the adjustment.

3. Feedback and Sensitivity: Practitioners rely on their tactile sensitivity and feedback from the patient to determine the location and degree of misalignment and to ensure the adjustment is delivered accurately.

4. Individualized Care: Each adjustment is tailored to the patient’s specific needs and condition, based on a thorough assessment of their spine and musculoskeletal system.
