The Diversified Technique is one of the most widely used chiropractic methods. Dr. LeGault uses quick, precise and controlled adjustments by hand to help specific joints move more freely, with a force tailored to you and very gentle in nature. Every adjustment starts with a careful history and exam.

What is the Diversified Technique?
Diversified is a hands-on chiropractic technique: a quick, precise and controlled thrust by hand, known as a high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) adjustment, aimed at a specific joint to help it move more freely.
What happens before an adjustment?
Before any adjustment, Dr. LeGault takes a detailed health history and examines you, so each adjustment is accurate and suited to you.
The exam includes feeling the joints and muscles (palpation), orthopedic and neurological testing and, when needed, imaging. He explains what he finds before treatment begins.
If you notice sudden numbness, weakness or loss of bladder or bowel control, see a medical doctor before your visit.
