There's a variety of different chiropractic techniques that are available. Each chiropractor tends to gravitate towards those that fit his practice style. Each of them are equally effective when matched with the patient's particular presentation. There are classic chiropractic adjustings, where the hands are gently put on the back and the manipulation is done through gentle pressure. There are also what are called non-forced techniques that don't use that type of methodology. There are either manual chiropractic techniques, or instruments where the body is gently put into position and there is no movement or gentle thrust applied to the body.
