How Chiropractic Care Works at Within Chiropractic

When a spinal joint loses normal motion or position, surrounding muscles tighten to protect it, nearby nerves get irritated, and the pain signal keeps firing. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper movement to restricted joints, taking pressure off the nerve, relaxing the guarding muscles, and allowing the body’s natural healing process to do its job.

Dr. Thompson doesn’t begin adjusting until he has a clear picture of what’s going on. Every new patient goes through digital X-rays and a full posture and range-of-motion analysis first, so the adjustment is targeted rather than general.

  • Drug-free relief that addresses the cause rather than covering it up
  • Techniques matched to your specific findings and comfort level
  • Soft tissue therapy and mobility work built into your care plan from day one
  • Digital X-ray and posture analysis before treatment begins

Chiropractic Techniques Dr. Thompson Uses in Colleyville

Dr. Thompson selects the right technique based on what your exam shows, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Diversified Technique

The most widely used chiropractic method. Dr. Thompson applies a precise, hands-on thrust to a specific spinal segment to restore normal joint motion. Most patients hear a popping sound during a Diversified adjustment, which is simply gas releasing from the joint as it moves - not bones cracking or anything to be concerned about. This technique works well for most patients dealing with back pain, neck pain, and joint stiffness.

Thompson Drop Table

The Thompson technique uses a segmented table that drops slightly as the adjustment is delivered. The drop mechanism reduces the force needed, making it a more comfortable option for patients who are particularly sensitive or dealing with acute pain. It's especially useful for lumbar and pelvic corrections.

Activator Method

The Activator is a small instrument that delivers a low-force, targeted impulse to a specific joint. It's a good fit for patients who prefer a gentler approach, are nervous about manual adjustments, or have conditions that call for a more controlled force. Many patients are surprised by how effective it is despite the minimal pressure involved.

What Happens During Your Chiropractic Visit

Your first visit includes a full exam, digital X-rays, and posture analysis before any adjustment takes place. Once Dr. Thompson has a clear picture of what’s driving your symptoms, he selects the appropriate technique and delivers a targeted relief adjustment. Most patients notice a difference before they leave.

After that, regular visits are focused and efficient, typically 5 to 10 minutes. Soft tissue therapy stretches out the muscles around the adjusted joints, and mobility work is incorporated to keep progress moving between visits. Routine progress exams are scheduled throughout your care plan so the approach evolves as you improve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments by a licensed, trained chiropractor are safe for the vast majority of patients. Dr. Thompson’s exam process includes screening for any conditions that would change the approach or require a referral before care begins.

What does the popping sound mean?

It’s gas releasing from the joint as it moves, similar to cracking your knuckles. It’s harmless and doesn’t indicate anything about the adjustment itself. Some patients hear it, some don’t, and both are completely normal.

How many visits will I need?

That depends on what the exam shows and how long the underlying problem has been present. Dr. Thompson gives you a specific answer at your report of findings based on your actual findings, not a generic estimate.

Can chiropractic help if I've had back surgery?

It depends on the specifics. Some post-surgical patients do well with chiropractic care, particularly for managing residual pain or dysfunction. Dr. Thompson will review your surgical history and be straightforward about whether and how care is appropriate.

Do you adjust areas other than the spine?

Yes. Extremity joints including shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles can also be assessed and adjusted when relevant to your condition.
