Spinal Adjustments

Palmetto Family Medical Group uses multiple techniques for Spinal Adjustments, including Standard Manipulation techniques like Thompson Drop-table technique and Diversified Technique. We also utilize Flexion Distraction, the Activator Method, and CBP (Chiropractic Biophysics).

Standard Manipulation improves areas of fixation or stiffness through mobilization. Flexion Distraction applies small amounts of pressure in targeted areas, which helps herniated or swollen discs. The Activator Method applies gentle pressure followed by a quick thrust with a specialized instrument which corrects misalignment in the spine. CBP adjusting technique is focused on correcting structural problems to improve your core function. 

Utilizing multiple techniques allows our providers to choose the most effective options for each patient’s specific condition and treatment goals. Furthermore, these modalities can help relieve neck and back pain, as well as problems in the extremities, related to a number of medical conditions including:

• Herniated Discs
• Swollen and Inflamed Discs
• Arthritis
• Sciatica
• Scoliosis
• Spinal Stenosis
• Neuropathy
• Hip, Leg, and Foot pain
• Shoulder, Arm, and Hand pain
• Pregnancy-related back pain
