Diversified technique
Diversified technique is a non-proprietary and eclectic approach to spinal manipulation commonly used by chiropractors.[1] The technique, as it is applied today, is largely attributed to the work of Joe Janse, D.C.[2][1] Diversified technique is the most common technique used by chiropractors, with approximately 96% of chiropractors using it for approximately 70% of their patients.[3][4] Diversified is the only chiropractic technique taught in Canadian chiropractic programs.[5]
Like many chiropractic and osteopathic manipulative techniques, Diversified is characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust.[1] is considered the most generic chiropractic manipulative technique and is differentiated from other techniques in that its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment of spine and joint dysfunction.[1]
