How Open Source Technique (OST) Works

Here’s what makes a visit with me different from most chiropractic care you’ve had before.

Real-time testing, not guesswork

Before I touch anything, I use consistent, sensitive testing to let your own body tell me what’s actually contributing to what you’re feeling. That analysis is detailed enough to find the real source of a problem, not just the spot that hurts.

Gentle correction, real holding power

Once I know what’s off, the correction itself is light. No popping, no cracking, no high-velocity thrusts. Your body actually prefers to be in a corrected state, and when it’s addressed with this kind of precision, the correction tends to hold, which is a big part of why visits can be spaced out further than typical chiropractic care.

Where this came from

This approach is called Open Source Technique (OST). Read the history if you’re curious where it started.

This is also why OST tends to work well for hypermobile and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) patients: there’s no forcing a joint past where it wants to go.
