Hands-On Chiropractic Adjustments in Germantown, MD

At Montgomery Family Chiropractic in Germantown, MD, we are committed to delivering exceptional care tailored to meet the needs of each patient. Two of the most effective hands-on chiropractic techniques we use to help our patients achieve optimal health are the Diversified Technique and the Flexion/Distraction Technique.

 

These methods are widely recognized for their precision, effectiveness, and ability to address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues.

​

The Diversified Technique: A Classic Approach to Chiropractic Care

 

The Diversified Technique is one of the most commonly used chiropractic adjustment methods. It is a manual, hands-on technique that focuses on restoring proper alignment to the spine and other joints in the body. This method is known for its high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrusts, which aim to:

​

  • Restore Joint Function: Misalignments in the spine, also known as subluxations, can restrict joint movement. Diversified adjustments target these areas, promoting proper motion and function.

  • Relieve Pain: By addressing misalignments, the technique helps reduce nerve irritation, inflammation, and pain.

  • Improve Nervous System Communication: Proper spinal alignment enhances the flow of information between the brain and body, contributing to overall well-being.

 

Conditions That Benefit from the Diversified Technique:

​

  • Back and neck pain

  • Sciatica

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Shoulder, hip, and knee pain

  • General stiffness or discomfort

 

During a Diversified adjustment, our chiropractors perform a detailed analysis of the patient’s posture, range of motion, and spinal alignment to ensure a safe and effective treatment tailored to individual needs.

 

The Flexion/Distraction Technique: Gentle Relief for Disc and Spine Issues

 

The Flexion/Distraction Technique is a specialized hands-on approach that uses a custom chiropractic table to gently stretch and mobilize the spine. This technique is especially beneficial for patients dealing with conditions involving disc injuries or nerve compression.

​

How It Works:

​

  • The patient lies on a motorized table that moves in a controlled, rhythmic motion.

  • The chiropractor applies manual pressure to targeted areas while the table flexes and distracts the spine.

  • This motion creates negative pressure within the discs, helping to reposition bulging or herniated discs and relieve nerve compression.

 

Benefits of the Flexion/Distraction Technique:

​

  • Reduces Pressure on Spinal Nerves: Ideal for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.

  • Improves Mobility: Gentle stretching of the spine alleviates stiffness and promotes flexibility.

  • Minimizes Pain: This technique is effective for chronic lower back pain and neck pain.

  • Enhances Healing: By improving spinal alignment and increasing circulation to affected areas, the body’s natural healing processes are supported.

 

Conditions That Benefit from Flexion/Distraction:

​

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Sciatica

  • Chronic lower back pain

  • Degenerative disc disease
