McTimoney Chiropractic Technique
McTimoney Chiropractic Technique
At Alpha Chiropractic Clinic, we will tailor the correct chiropractic technique to suit your treatment needs and preferences. We can offer a lighter chiropractic technique known toggle recoil technique, which is very similar to McTimoney chiropractic technique.
Where on the body can it be used?
The upper cervical spine is one of the most nerve-rich areas of your spine. Even subtle changes here can have whole-body effects. Because of its importance, this special adjusting technique has evolved, producing positive results for a variety of health problems. At Alpha Chiropractic Clinic we use toggle recoil technique effectively throughout the whole body. It is an alternative treatment technique to diversified adjusting. Basically, when use throughout the whole musculoskeletal system this technique is pretty much the same as McTimoney Technique.
Comfortable and Relaxed
After a thorough examination revealing the relationship between the skull and the two uppermost bones of the spine, you’ll be positioned comfortably on our adjusting table, usually lying on your side. The more relaxed you are, the more effective your adjustment.
Ultra Quick
Then, we use our hands to deliver a super-fast thrust to the upper bones of your spine. Experience suggests that the best results are obtained with the greatest speed and the lightest force possible. Once the energy is delivered to your spine, my hands are quickly removed from the contact point so as not to interfere with the natural recoil of your spine.
Your Body Does the Adjustment!
The wisdom of your body uses this energy to “reset” the relationship between the spinal segments and your head. All I do is give your body a precise nudge, which allows your body to “right itself” into a more normal pattern. Health can return as the neurological insults are reduced.

Our Services
Chiropractors (practitioners of chiropractic) use their hands to treat disorders of the bones, muscles and joints.
Chiropractors use a range of techniques, with an emphasis on manipulation of the spine. They may also offer advice on diet, exercise, postural correction and lifestyle. They will give rehabilitation programmes that involve exercises to do in your own time
Diversified Chiropractic
At Alpha Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic, we use an adjusting style commonly referred to as “Diversified.” Many people ask the questions “what is chiropractic?” or “what is a chiropractor?” Diversified is the technique practiced by Danial David Palmer, the first chiropractor who founded the chiropractic medical profession in 1895.
Gonstead Technique
Named after its developer, Dr. Clarence Gonstead, this approach came from his engineering background. His “foundation principle” explains how a subluxation pattern in one area of the spine can produce compensatory changes in another.
Thompson Drop Technique
The Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, has evolved into a system of analysis and a way of adjusting the full spine.
The combination produces precise adjustments and high levels of patient comfort.
Activator Methods
We use one of the most popular “low force” chiropractic techniques in the world.
The Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument is a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust.
