Published by Chicago Chiropractor Seaman Chiropractic on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 6:12 AM.
I am Dr. Cynthia Seaman, chiropractor, and the owner of Seaman Chiropractic Center. In my practice I have been helping folks in Harwood Heights with my healing hands for more than twenty years. For those of you who have experienced chiropractic treatment, who may get adjusted a certain way or for those who have never had care by a chiropractor and are afraid of what we do -- read further.
At Seaman Chiropractic, I use 4 different techniques of adjusting the neck, mid-back and low back. All are gentle, non- force techniques and with each patient, I may use multiple methods based on the patients' unique needs. All methods move joints in the spine or other parts (shoulders, wrists, ankles, knees or hips) into the correct neutral position to relieve nerve interference and normalize joint function which then allows the body to heal itself. That, in turn, relieves neck and back pain, headaches, shoulder, hip and knee pain. In my office these are the methods I love to use:
Diversified :
The first technique is diversified which is purely done by hands. It is a quick gentle movement to correct the position of the vertebrae back to a neutral position either centered or level. I usually use this on the neck and the vast majority of patients love the way it feels. It opens up the nervous system straight from the brain and improves your immune system, arm pain, headaches, tingling and numbness, tinnitus, dizziness and so much more.
Thompson Drop:
This is such a great technique, so gentle and fast. I am always amazed so few doctors use it. Firstly, instead of being twisted on your side (called side lying) you are on a soft, cushioned treatment table on your stomach and to reduce any pressure of the adjustment the table drops a inch to buffer any pressure. In addition, my table is electric so it increases gentleness.

Secondly, my table has a center portion which can be lowered so pregnant ladies can be adjusted till they are ready to give birth and men with large bellies can always be adjusted comfortably.
I use the drops on the mid back and the low back, from your shoulders to your pelvis. Nerves in your mid back control your heart and lungs and all digestive organs including your gall bladder, liver, pancreas and stomach.This correction helps heal conditions like gastritis,heart burn and ulcers Your low back controls your prostate, bladder, sex organs, colon, ovaries, uterus, pain in your back and your entire legs all the way to your feet. So it corrects bladder issues, prostate, fertility and leg or foot pain/tinglng or numbness.
Those are two of the four chiropractic adjustment techniques I employ in my practice. I will describe the other techniques I use in a future article.
