Low Force chiropractic," the original light-force chiropractic method. Dr. Richard Van Rumpt began researching this technique in 1923 and taught it nationwide for 45 years.

Question 2

What are the primary objectives of Low Force Chiropractic?

Accepted Answer

The primary objectives of Low Force Chiropractic are to relieve pain and improve overall health by aligning your body's structure. This alignment helps remove nerve interference, enabling your nervous system to function at its best and utilize the body's natural healing capabilities.

Question 3

What makes Low Force Chiropractic different from other forms of chiropractic?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic has, over the years, taken many forms in its methods of application. Low Force Chiropractic employs a unique and sophisticated method of diagnosis. This procedure allows the patient’s body itself to indicate the existence and precise location of nerve interference as well as the directions of misalignment of the structure in question.
With such precise information, it requires no more than a light force thrust to introduce a complete and long lasting correction to any structure in the body.

Question 4

What leads to spinal misalignments?

Accepted Answer

Spinal misalignments are typically caused by trauma, ranging from major injuries to minor, repetitive stress over time. For instance, tilting your head backward over a shampoo basin can result in neck issues. Certain deep tissue procedures can also lead to misalignments.

Question 5

What advantages does Low Force chiropractic offer?

Accepted Answer

Low Force chiropractic avoids the hard thrusts and popping sounds typical of conventional chiropractic. Corrections are made with a gentle thrust, resulting in profound and long-lasting effects. Additionally, Low Force Chiropractic often requires fewer visits for both initial correction and ongoing maintenance.

Question 6

How many chiropractic sessions will I require?

Accepted Answer

The number of chiropractic sessions you'll require depends on your specific issue, history, and spinal involvement. Typically, areas like the neck or lower back may need 2-6 adjustments for relief. A full spine correction might require 6-10 treatments, while complex cases could need 10-15 or more. Low Force Chiropractic aims to resolve issues with the fewest sessions possible.

Question 7

Is it true that one must have frequent adjustments for hold the correction received?

Accepted Answer

From a Low Force Chiropractic viewpoint, the need for frequent visits suggest that the structure has not actually been properly or completely realigned in all respects. This assumes that no new injuries or aggravating factors have occurred since a previous visit. With Low Force chiropractic, frequent visits are not necessary once a problem has been completely corrected.

Question 8

Does stress cause misalignment? If so, wouldn’t it render the Low Force chiropractic treatments ineffective?

Accepted Answer

Unless the stress is very severe, it usually doesn’t create specific misalignments. Stress may, however, accentuate or exaggerate the effect of misalignments which are already present. If one feels many pains under stress, then it is an indication that misalignments have already been there. It is our experience that mild to moderate stress on a properly aligned patient does not alter corrections. Patients who received a treatment while under emotional or work related pressure report an increased ability to handle stress in general.
