Diversified This is the most common non-specific technique used by most chiropractors. It is a technique which may utilise more than one method. It will involve spinal adjustment, and generally results in an audible sound. Activator Technique is a gentle, low-force program of chiropractic care that was developed in the late 1960s. The Activator technique uses a unique system of administering spinal adjustments using Activator analysis and an Activator instrument to initiate the correct movement of the vertebra in a predetermined direction. Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) is a method of chiropractic based primarily on the identification and treatment of three bodily systems: the cranial sacral respiratory system, the weight-bearing system and the function of the lumbar spine. A SOT chiropractor analyzes and then treats using blocks, joint adjustment, organ/soft tissue reflex manipulation and cranial corrections.		Blocking Techniques Whilst the patient is lying down, wooden wedges are skilfully placed in certain positions under the pelvis. The pelvis is thus balanced gently and naturally, using the patient's own bodyweight. This aims to restore natural alignment and balance of the spine and pelvis. Drop Techniques A specific technique for adjustment of the full spine on a special table. The adjusting table with a segmented drop system quickly lowers the section of the patient's body corresponding with the spinal region being adjusted. The chiropractor's thrusts (using minimal force) initiates movement, and the fast drop of the table carries the joint through the remainder of its range of motion.
