Our Chiropractic Care Techniques


The chiropractors at MacKenzie SDI in Coquitlam may employ a number of chiropractic techniques to treat misalignments of the musculoskeletal system, including the Diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson methods. Find out more about these techniques below.

Diversified
Diversified is the traditional adjustment technique that usually comes to mind when patients think of chiropractic care. It involves a manual adjustment using a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust that often results in a “popping” or “cracking” sound. The diversified method is very effective for restoring movement and alignment of the spine and joints.

Gonstead
The Gonstead technique involves a thorough analysis of spinal x-rays to identify subluxation of the spine and determine the correct adjustments to be administered. The goal of a Gonstead adjustment is to be as precise as possible. Chiropractors make adjustments only to a patient’s problem areas.

Thompson
Also known as drop-table, the Thompson technique introduces the concept of adding motion to traditional adjustment techniques. During treatment, the segmental drop table quickly lowers the section of the patient’s body corresponding with the spinal region being adjusted, assisting with thrust while minimizing force.

Chiropractic care is recommended for people of all ages and may be effective in treating:

Back Pain Arthritis Sciatica Neck Pain Headaches Disc Problems Carpal Tunnel Syndrome



While chiropractic care is effective in providing short-term pain relief, maximum benefits are realized with long-term care. Regular visits to your chiropractor are recommended to maintain health of the spine and nervous system.
