Hi! My name is Dr. Sean Flaherty from Summer Chiropractic in Puyallup, Washington and I want to give you a couple of examples what a low back adjustment might look like. The first one is a more physical adjustment, which is what most people prefer and I am going to have him on the side facing me this way. You have the patient go on the side, relax. Create tension here in the low back and as I bring him over here, a slight thrust and he will feel the joint moving there, face down. Another light force adjustment, this is just one of the many, many, many techniques that a chiropractor might use. He might even come in and use an activator or similar instrument and in that same area that I just adjusted he will come in and he will click here, here, and here, believe it or not that will actually move that hip if you do it right.
