Diversified Technique is the classic chiropractic technique, developed by D.D. Palmer, DC. At Logan, Diversified Technique was refined and developed by the late Otto Reinert, DC, to address biomechanical failure in each section of the spine, as it relates to specific subluxation. The focus is on restoration to normal biomechanical function, and correction of subluxation. In addition, Diversified methods have been developed to adjust extremity joints, allowing for beneficial applications in treating sports injuries and other injuries.

Diversified adjusting of the spine uses specific lines of drives for all manual thrusts, allowing for specificity in correcting mechanical distortions of the spine. Logan’s Diversified instructing focuses intensely on the specificity of Diversified adjusting, allowing students to develop high levels of competence in the technique by the time they complete the Diversified curriculum.
