What is the Diversified Technique?
The Diversified Technique is a comprehensive chiropractic method with a primary goal of reducing nerve interference. This approach requires no special or unique procedures, making it accessible and straightforward. Patients are thoroughly assessed using various mechanisms including detailed history and basic examination (orthopedic and neurologic), palpation, x-ray analysis, leg checks, reflex procedures, and other diagnostic methods. The procedure involves analyzing the full spine and extremities to identify areas of dysfunction and misalignment.
How Diversified Technique Works
The majority of adjustments used in Diversified are manual adjustments utilizing HVLA (high velocity, low amplitude) or long lever manipulations aimed at cavitating the joint and creating an audible release. This sound is known by patients as the familiar ‘popping’ or ‘cracking’ sound associated with chiropractic adjustments. Some chiropractors may also utilize specialized equipment such as drop tables or pelvic blocks to enhance treatment effectiveness. This traditional approach has been proven effective for decades in restoring proper spinal function and reducing pain.

Common Questions About Diversified Technique
The Diversified Technique is distinguished by its comprehensive approach to analyzing the full spine and extremities, its use of manual HVLA adjustments, and its focus on reducing nerve interference. It's the most commonly used chiropractic technique because of its proven effectiveness and straightforward application.
HVLA stands for High Velocity, Low Amplitude. This refers to the quick, precise movements used during manual adjustments. The technique delivers a rapid, controlled force over a short distance to restore joint motion and create the characteristic 'popping' sound associated with chiropractic adjustments.
The popping or cracking sound occurs when the adjustment creates cavitation in the joint - the rapid formation and collapse of gas bubbles in the joint fluid. This sound indicates that the joint space has been opened and normal motion has been restored, but the therapeutic benefit comes from the restored function, not the sound itself.
The Diversified Technique is effective for treating a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint dysfunction, muscle tension, and various musculoskeletal problems throughout the spine and extremities. Its comprehensive approach makes it suitable for most chiropractic conditions.
Assessment includes a detailed health history, orthopedic and neurological examination, palpation of the spine and muscles, x-ray analysis when necessary, leg length checks, reflex testing, and other diagnostic procedures as needed. This thorough evaluation helps identify specific areas requiring treatment.
