Our Techniques

Our chiropractic professionals employ a wide range of proven techniques for each individual case. Below, you’ll find a brief explanation of the popular chiropractic techniques we use at our practice.

What to remember is that we are "hands on" Doctors.  Through our palpatory and diagnostic skills we will be better able to care for your subluxations.  The "subluxations" are minute misalignments in the spine or extremity. Even with millimeters of non-movement in a joint this can allow the nerve to become dysfunctional.  That is, to receive improper information from that part of the body, which can lead to pain, inflammation and joint injury.

Diversified

This technique, we have found, is the most beneficial to the patient since it employs several different techniques instead of just one way to adjust the spine. This allows us to bring the best techniques for the patients' optimal health.

Trigger Point Therapy
The primary purpose of Trigger Point Therapy is to reduce the pain that results from hypersensitive muscles.  Trigger points are identified by gently pressing on the surface of the skin, sensing the texture of the underlying muscle.  A trigger point is like a knot the size of a pea, buried deep in the muscle tissue. It is made up of lactic acid, a normal byproduct of muscular activity, which sometimes gets trapped in the muscle from physical, chemical or emotional stress.

Drop Table
This technique makes use of specialized drop-piece mechanisms in the table to assist the adjustment.  Individual cushions or "drop pieces" located along the table support each area of the spine until the thrust is given.  Then, each drop-piece gently gives way, reducing the pressure needed to move a specific spinal segment.

Nutritional Counseling
When the chiropractor wants further healing and wellness the office employs staff to assess the patient through nutritional counseling.  The products that we use are scientifically formulated for optimal benefits of the body for each individual.  The doctor will discuss this further when it is deemed neccessary for your nutritional health..
