Spinal Adjustments

Chiropractic treatment is a very safe and effective form of health care.  Each patient’s needs and comfort must be taken into consideration before treatment can begin. Turning Point Chiropractic offers the residents and guests of Saratoga Springs a diverse variety of treatment options and are sure they can provide one to fit your needs. Here are some of the adjusting types used to treat our patients:

Manual Diversified

Dr. Adam primarily uses manual, diversified adjusting. This is the technique that most people associate with chiropractic. However, this technique may not be the best or the most comfortable for the patient. In that case we have multiple different options.

Thompson Drop Piece

In some cases the doctors may use what is called a drop piece. There is a special table in the office that has sections that pop up and drop back down under quick impulses. This is very helpful for some people who are too tight to be put in their side or if a specific movement needs to be accomplished.

Activator Instrument

The activator instrument is a very powerful tool in a small package. The activator focuses the impulse into a small area and very quickly delivers a thrust to the segment or bone that is fixated. It is a fantastic tool used in acute condition such as whiplash and also used for elderly patients or those suffering from osteoporosis or other similar conditions.
