Y-Strap Adjustments in Edina
Dr. Brenda uses her hands to adjust the spine, shoulders, wrists, fingers, knees, feet, and ankles. There are various ways to adjust for spinal misalignment to address pain in the neck, back, extremities (such as shoulders, wrists, knees, and feet), and Dr. Brenda prefers to tailor the adjustment to what a person needs.
What Is It?
The Y-Strap adjustment works by stretching the spine, particularly the neck and upper back, by gently pulling the head along the Y-axis of the body. This pulling force generates a decompression in the vertebral discs. The force applied can utilize different speeds and force, depending on what a person’s body needs.
The reason the Y-strap adjustment is uncommon among the chiropractic profession is that it uses a strap that can be scary for patients at first. However, Dr. Brenda takes her time and explains the technique before and while she is doing the adjustment to fit your comfort level. Many patients who have received this adjustment love it.

The Y-Strap adjustment is like a traction type of an adjustment. It differs from other adjustments because it focuses on the Y-axis of the spine. What that means is it lifts each joint in the spine opening up the disc spaces and openings where the nerves come out from. The idea is that this helps to provide movement into the individual bones and joints in the spine along with decreasing pressure on the nerves to reduce pain, swelling, limited motion, and various symptoms.
