Manual vs Instrument Adjustments: What's the Difference?

Chiropractic testing


Our chiropractor can use a range of techniques in order to get your spine into alignment, and provide you with the treatment you need. At Capitol Hill Chiropractic, serving Seattle, WA, and Capitol Hill, WA, our gentle chiropractic strategies are used with patients who require less abrupt spinal adjustments to correct spinal alignment. Manual adjustments rely on positioning and movements in order to get an adjustment into place, while instrument adjustments can be used when a manual adjustment isn't as well suited.

Manual Vs. Instrument Adjustments for Pain Relief

Chiropractors may use a combination of manual vs. instrument adjustments for pain relief. A hand-held device called an activator can be used to apply pressure to a specific area of your spine, and can be used to fine tune an adjustment. Manual adjustments are done by hand and can include the use of an adjustment table. Talk to our chiropractor about how manual adjustments vs instrument adjustments can help and which may be best for your needs.

Understanding Spinal Adjustments Overall

The goal of spinal adjustments is to get your spine into alignment in order for your body to heal. A chiropractor takes each case separately, and will use strategies that work best. With the spine in alignment, your inflammation can decrease, and you will find pain relief. Spinal impulse adjusting can be used to target more specific areas that you need help with. It can be a more high-tech option form of treatment.
