Outline of Basic Chiropractic Techniques
Basic Techniques Used at Edgerton Chiropractic & Wellness Center

Dr. Edgerton utilizes several techniques ranging from high force to low force spinal adjustments; they are listed below with a brief description:

  1. Diversified: This is a manual technique and is a full spine adjusting procedure. This is a high force technique utilizing body levers to manually manipulate the spinal structures.
  2. Activator Methods: Activator is a low force technique utilizing an activator instrument generating a low force thrust to the spinal structures.
  3. Thompson Drop: This technique is a moderate force procedure, in which the doctor uses a high low adjusting table with segmental drop pieces.
  4. Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT): This is a low force technique that uses wedges and posture to align the spinal structures.
  5. Toggle: Manipulation is performed with a sudden shallow thrust to the upper cervical spine, followed with a quick withdrawal of the doctor’s hands while the patient is relaxed.
