The mc2 chiropractic technique is a specific type of chiropractic adjustment that uses a light, low-force approach. This technique is often used for patients who are sensitive to more traditional, high-force chiropractic adjustments.
The mc2 technique was developed by Dr. Charles McDaniel, a chiropractor and researcher who has been practicing since the 1970s. Dr. McDaniel developed this technique as an alternative to the standard high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) adjustments that are commonly used in chiropractic care.
The mc2 adjustment is performed with the patient lying on their back on a Chiropractic adjusting table. The doctor will use their hands to deliver a gentle thrust to the vertebrae being treated. The goal of this adjustment is to restore normal alignment and motion to the joints and spine.
This type of adjustment is generally considered safe for most people, although there are some risks associated with any type of spinal manipulation. These risks include temporary discomfort or stiffness, headaches, and rare but serious complications such as stroke or herniated discs.
If you are considering seeing a chiropractor for your health concerns, be sure to ask about their training and experience in performing the mc2 technique before scheduling an appointment
