Questions & AnswersHi! My name is Dr. Sean Flaherty from Summer Chiropractic in Puyallup, Washington and I want to show you a couple different techniques that you might encounter at a chiropractor for the mid-back or the thoracic area of your spine. One way a doctor will come in and he will look at here, he will palpate or use other different techniques to analyze and figure where the subluxation is. He will come in with his hands and he will thrust, another way someone might like a light force adjustment and one of the many light force adjustments out there is with instrument. They will come in, and they will find the area that needs to be adjusted and because this moves so fast that it actually can move that vertebrae. One last way that is a more physical adjustment of this area, I will have him go on his back, kind of give himself a hug, I will come underneath this way, and my thrust will be on top.
