Diversified Manual Adjustments

This technique is the form of high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust that is traditionally associated with chiropractic manual adjustments. For this method, chiropractors apply 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. The patient’s body is positioned in specific ways to optimize the adjustment of the spine. This will help restore any nerve interference caused by misaligned vertebrae. This is the “cracking” people see on social media.
