If You Prefer a Traditional Experience...

• The Diversified Technique is likely the best fit for you. If you have had chiropractic care in the past and enjoyed the "hands-on" feel and the immediate release of a manual adjustment, this "gold standard" approach provides the direct results many patients look for.

If You Are Looking for a Very Gentle, "No-Pop" Approach...

• The Activator or Impulse Adjusting methods are ideal. These instrument-assisted techniques are perfect for patients who may be nervous about manual adjustments, those with acute pain where any movement is difficult, or for our pediatric and senior patients. They provide high-precision results with a very light "tapping" sensation.
• SOT (Sacro Occipital Technique) is another wonderful option for those seeking a low-force experience. Since it uses gravity and specialized blocks rather than manual thrusts, it is incredibly relaxing and effective for balancing the body’s foundation.

If You Have Lower Back or Pelvic Concerns...

• The Thompson Drop Technique is often the preferred choice for structural issues in the lower back and hips. Because the specialized table does the work, we can achieve deep joint movement without having to twist or turn your body into uncomfortable positions. It’s a great "middle ground" between manual and instrument adjusting.
  

If You Want a High-Tech, Data-Driven Approach...

• Impulse Adjusting uses modern technology to "talk" to your nervous system. If you enjoy knowing that your care is backed by the latest engineering to reset muscle memory and joint function, this rapid-pulse method is an excellent choice.

How Dr. Monroe Decides

Ultimately, the choice of technique is based on:

1. Your Clinical Needs: What your spine and nervous system require to heal.
2. Your Comfort Level: Whether you prefer manual pressure or gentle instruments.
3. Your Health History: Factors like bone density, age, and previous injuries.
4. Your Feedback: We are an interactive practice. If a certain style doesn't feel right for you, we simply pivot to another method that does.
