Which chiropractic technique is right for me?

That is decided after an examination, not before. Your Doctor of Chiropractic will assess your condition, your history, and your comfort level, explain which adjusting methods fit, and adjust the plan as you progress. The practice offers manual care such as Diversified and Gonstead, low-force care such as the Activator Method and drop table adjustments, and soft tissue methods including Graston, dry needling, myofascial release, and Active Release Therapy.

Do you use manual adjustments or instruments?

Both. Diversified and Gonstead use manual thrusts. The Activator Method uses a handheld spring-loaded instrument to deliver a low-force impulse, and drop table adjustments use a segmented table. If you feel anxious about manual adjustments, have osteoporosis or fragile joints, are pregnant, or are an older adult, the gentler options are worth discussing with your Doctor of Chiropractic.

What is the difference between chiropractic care and physical therapy?

Chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment and joint adjustments to address the root cause of pain, while physical therapy emphasises exercise and movement rehabilitation. At Spine and Joint Center Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Kellerman combines both approaches — adjustments plus rehabilitation exercises — for faster recovery and longer-lasting results.

How long does a chiropractic adjustment take?

A standard chiropractic adjustment at Spine and Joint Center Fort Lauderdale takes 15 to 30 minutes for established patients and 45 to 60 minutes for your first visit, which includes a full evaluation and treatment plan. Many patients report measurable relief after their first appointment — your results will depend on your condition and treatment plan.
