The Palmer Package is a compilation of techniques taught at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa- The birthplace of Chiropractic, and Dr. Jon and Dr. Kylee’s Alma Mater. Palmer Package Adjusting can be described as “Traditional Chiropractic Adjustments” or “Manual Adjusting”. These styles of adjusting can be described in more details as follows:
This technique is the most used of all chiropractic techniques and is the one probably most familiar to patients. The Diversified adjustment entails a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust that usually results in a cavitation of a joint (quick, shallow thrusts that cause the popping noise often associated with a chiropractic adjustment).
This is a specific chiropractic method and is a variation of the Diversified technique that uses a special table with several segments called “drop pieces”. These segments can be cocked up a fraction of an inch, so when the thrust is delivered, the table will drop below the patient. The object of the drop is to distract (open) the joint during the adjustment. The drop pieces assists the thrust, while minimizing the force required for the adjustment. Cavitation of the joint may or may not occur.
This is a specific chiropractic technique that is distinct from Diversified technique because it focuses primarily on P-A adjusting, rather than on rotary adjusting, but is still done by hand, and usually results in joint cavitation. X-ray analysis, palpation, and temperature gradient studies may be used in clinical decision-making.
The PulStar adjusting technique is quite different from the Tradition, or manual, adjusting. Although a different technique- the same goal, thus, the same great results are achieved. The goal of the adjustment is to restore proper motion and function to the spine, this in turn takes pressure off the nervous system resulting in your body functioning at a higher level and healing at a faster rate. The difference between the manual adjusting and PulStar adjusting is rather than using their hands to deliver the adjustment, the Doctor will use an instrument that will measure, analyze and deliver specific impulses into the spine to perform the adjustment. This technique will not cause any “popping” sounds during the adjustment. The PulStar provides an incredibly gentle adjustment that achieves phenomenal results! There are only 6 PulStar Machines in the state of Wisconsin!
