Diversified Technique in Gig Harbor

The Diversified Technique is a widely used chiropractic method that involves hands-on, high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrusts to correct misalignments and enhance mobility in the spine and other joints. This manual adjustment technique is designed to improve joint function and alleviate pain. Its versatility makes it suitable for a broad range of patient conditions and treatment goals.

Gonstead Technique

The Gonstead approach to chiropractic care focuses on the body's structural foundation, particularly the intervertebral discs. Optimal balance and stability in the spine are achieved when the pelvis, vertebrae, and legs are properly aligned and level. Key factors in the Gonstead system include foundational imbalance, misalignments between vertebrae, restricted motion, and nerve interference. Damage to the intervertebral discs is seen as a major cause of spinal subluxations, so Gonstead adjustments are specifically designed to target and improve disc health while restoring proper alignment and movement.
