Neck pain doesn’t just slow you down—it throws off everything from your posture to your focus. Whether it’s caused by stress, poor sleeping position, or years of looking down at screens, cervical spine dysfunction is one of the most common issues we treat at Back In Action. These five documented chiropractic adjustments are among the most effective for restoring motion, reducing tension, and helping patients feel aligned, mobile, and pain-free again.
One of the most reliable techniques is the Cervical Diversified Adjustment, a hands-on method that uses a quick, controlled thrust to improve joint movement and reduce built-up tension. Another highly precise option is the Gonstead Technique, which targets specific vertebrae based on structural analysis and is especially helpful for addressing nerve interference. For clients who prefer gentler care or have limited range of motion, we use Seated Cervical Mobilization—a slower, controlled method performed while seated, designed to gradually restore movement.
The Drop Table Adjustment is another popular technique, using a segmented table to support the adjustment, allowing for a comfortable and effective correction with less force. And finally, for those who prefer a low-force approach, the Activator Method uses a handheld device to deliver rapid, pinpointed pulses to specific areas in the neck—ideal for sensitive or post-injury cases.
“Chiropractic doesn’t just treat pain—it restores how your body moves, functions, and protects itself every day.”
Why These Adjustments Work —
Targeted Relief Without Guesswork
Every neck is different, which is why we don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. These five adjustments are chosen based on spinal assessment, patient history, and comfort level. Whether it’s improving range of motion, relieving nerve pressure, or reducing tension, each method is designed to restore mobility with precision and care.
We don’t just adjust and move on—we document progress, track range of motion, and adjust the plan as your body responds. From manual techniques like Diversified and Gonstead to gentler options like Activator or Drop Table, our focus is always on what works best for your recovery, with measurable results.
