There are many different chiropractic techniques. Some doctors of chiropractic perform joint manipulation with their hands only, while others use various instruments. Additionally, some chiropractors treat using quick but firm manipulation, while others have a lighter touch.
Some patients prefer the immediate feeling of relief offered by the "joint popping" type of spinal manipulation, while others cringe at the mere thought and prefer a low-force chiropractic technique.
In short, chiropractic treatment is largely driven by the individual preferences of both the chiropractor and the patient.
Many of these questions about chiropractic care don't have a right or wrong answer, but having a better understanding of chiropractic technique will allow the patient to better assess if there is a good patient-doctor fit.
After asking these questions, the individual may find that further research about specific chiropractic techniques is necessary.
