Such disorders are treated by a special branch of medical science called Chiropractic. Chiropractic is a health care discipline that deals with diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It is generally considered as a complementary and alternative treatment, a characterization that many chiropractors reject. The treatment involves manual therapy which includes manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissue; treatment also includes exercises using chiropractic tables, chiropractic equipment and health and lifestyle counseling. Spinal manipulation, which chiropractic professionals call "spinal adjustment" or "chiropractic adjustment", is the most common treatment used in chiropractic care. Spinal manipulation is a manual passive maneuver during which a three-joint complex is taken past the normal range of movement, but not so far as to dislocate or damage the joint; its defining factor is a dynamic thrust, which is a sudden force that causes an audible release and attempts to increase a joint's range of motion. Here are some techniques which are employed to fix such disorders. Diversified technique (employing various techniques, full-spine manipulation), extremity adjusting, Activator technique (which uses a spring loaded tool to deliver precise adjustments to the spine), Thompson Technique (which relies on a drop table and detailed procedural protocols), Gonstead (which emphasizes evaluating the spine along with specific adjustment that avoids rotational vectors), Cox/flexion-distraction (a gentle, low-force adjusting procedure which mixes chiropractic with osteopathic principles and utilizes specialized adjusting tables or chiropractic tables with movable parts), adjustive instrument, Sacro-Occipital Technique (which models the spine as a torsion bar), Nimmo Receptor-Tonus Technique, Applied Kinesiology (which emphasises "muscle testing" as a diagnostic tool), and cranial.
