Although many people are familiar with chiropractors and the more typical ways they make adjustments, many people do not realize that there are over 200 different styles and methods that chiropractors can be trained in to treat patients with. These include methods that use more gentle adjustments than the “back cracking” adjustments that were initially most prevalent when the art of chiropractic began gaining popularity with the mainstream public in the United States in the 1980s.

There are many different chiropractic treatments that may be able to rejuvenate your and your family’s health. An advantage to working with a chiropractor over a medical doctor is that while a chiropractor might suggest supplements or vitamins to improve your health, they do not prescribe pharmaceutical medications that can have negative side effects or painful and invasive surgeries. Some methods of chiropractic treatment include different tools that have been designed specifically for different kinds of chiropractic adjustments as opposed to adjustments that the chiropractor makes with their hand directly to the patient’s body.
