A Brief History of Chiropractic
Though the field of
chiropractic care has a rich and fascinating history with origins in disciplines from 19th century bonesetting to magnetic healing, and has evolved as a medical practice over time as more evidence-based philosophies have been adopted, chiropractic care has always been a manual practice. In fact, the very term "chiropractic"
comes from the Greek root words cheir, meaning "hand," and
praktos, meaning "done" or "practice." With a name literally meaning "done by hand" or "practice of the hand" chiropractic care is centered around spinal manipulations and other manual methods known as chiropractic adjustments.
Today, there are still some chiropractors that stick to outdated practices and philosophies, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The majority of practicing chiropractors are modern multidisciplinary medical professionals. In order to practice and perform chiropractic adjustments and other care for patients, a chiropractor must complete advanced education, pass board exams, earn a license to practice in their state, and participate in continued professional education annually
to maintain their license.
Dr. Brent Tieri and the Total Spine Health and Injury chiropractic adjustment team in Maple Grove are modern medical professionals who follow and provide the latest evidence-based practices for corrective care. With us, you get truly modern care in a clean, modern setting.
What is a Chiropractic Adjustment? - Maple Grove Chiropractors
A chiropractic adjustment refers to the administration of the chiropractic practice of manipulation. Though when most of us hear the term chiropractic adjustment we might immediately envision the practice of spinal manipulation or a chiropractor cracking your back, a chiropractic adjustment can be much more than that.
As medical professionals specializing in joint and musculoskeletal health and wellness, chiropractors can use chiropractic adjustment to treat a variety of complaints throughout the body, which often involve the spine but can also target other joints throughout the body.
The term chiropractic adjustment is often used synonymously with the term spinal manipulation, but in truth, spinal manipulation is just one of a variety of different chiropractic adjustment techniques. When you see your
chiropractor for a chiropractic adjustment in Maple Grove, they may use one or more adjustment methods, including some of the most common chiropractic adjustments listed below.
- Diversified technique - one of the most commonly used chiropractic adjustments involving "a short (low-amplitude), quick (high-velocity) thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint"
- Spinal mobilization - another extremely common manual chiropractic adjustment administered by using the hands to apply gentle pressure on joints to treat pain and reduce stiffness
- Thompson Drop-Table technique - the patient lays on a specially designed Thompson table while the chiropractor applies high speed, minimal force thrusts; the individual sections of the table drop slightly to assist in the adjustment, facilitating the natural range of motion of the joints
- Gonstead adjustment - important for adjusting misalignment of the lower spine and pelvis with specific manipulations that can be done while the patient is sitting or on their side
- Activator method - uses a small, handheld instrument called an activator to apply gentle, targeted impulses to the vertebrae or extremities
- Flexion-Distraction/Cox technique - gentle, rhythmic motions that distract and flex the spine with the help of a special table with segmented, moving pieces shown to be effective in reducing pressure in spinal discs and treating low back pain, leg pain, and many other spinal and extremity conditions
- Spinal decompression - stretching out the spine to relieve pressure and stimulate blood and oxygen flow, often done using traction table or inversion table to stretch the spine using weights or gravity
- Extremity manipulation - chiropractic adjustment involving manual manipulations of the extremities to treat extremity complaints and support spinal alignment; learn more about our extremity chiropractic adjustment services
