Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a natural approach to healing using non-invasive, non-surgical methods to treat the whole person. A major focus of chiropractic care is on spinal misalignment or subluxation. Spinal misalignment causes dysfunction in the joints, tissues, nerves, and organs which can show up in symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, back pain, decreased range of motion, muscle tension, numbness and tingling in arms and legs, or any feeling of dis-ease in the body. Subluxation can also be present without noticeable symptoms.

Chiropractic care is used to support a variety of needs including health restoration, sports injuries or other physical traumas, childhood injuries, pre- and post-natal care, pediatric and geriatric care, and wellness maintenance.

What To Expect

As part of a comprehensive care, clients receive initial and routine objective and subjective evaluations including a review of symptoms, nervous system scan to measure muscle tension around the spine, Applied Kinesiology or muscle testing to assess imbalances, orthopedic tests, and X-rays.

Session assessments and treatments are customized to your individual needs and may include the following methods of care:

Spinal Manipulation
Spinal Manipulation: precise impulses in specific direction to restore normal motion and position of individual vertebrae and what is used when a “pop” is usually heard.
The Activator Method
The Activator Method: a low-force adjusting protocol using a small tool.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
Cox Flexion-Distraction: a gentle, non-force stretching movement to aid in relieving nerve pressure in the lower and middle back and neck.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression: computer-aided technology to apply slow and controlled decompression to the spine, increasing circulation into the spinal discs and joints; used for disc related syndromes of the low back and neck such as herniated discs, bulging discs, facet syndrome, degenerative joint disease, and pinched nerves.
Thompson Drop Technique
Thompson Drop Technique: a pneumatically driven segmented drop system, which uses high speed thrusts with minimal force in sync with the drop of the table.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
CranioSacral Therapy (CST): uses light pressure on the cranial bones to locate and release any restrictions preventing the bones from pumping oxygen and nutrient rich fluid to the brain and spinal cord. Is effective for a wide range of medical concerns including, but not limited to colic, ear infections, learning disabilities, motor-coordination impairments, autism, post-traumatic stress disorder, emotional difficulties, and stress and tension-related problems.
Microcurrent Therapy
Microcurrent Therapy: uses a small amount of electrical current to speed the healing process, help relieve pain, and reduce swelling and inflammation.
Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy: emits photons (light) in very specific regions of the electromagnetic spectrum to penetrate the skin and absorb radiant energy to promote healing, break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation and pain.
Myofascial Release (or Unwinding)
Myofascial Release (or Unwinding): body therapy that releases the connective fascial tissue that occurs by following or “unwinding” the inherent, non-muscular movement in the body. It can be applied to whole limbs, surface areas, and even structures as small as a tooth and is often used in conjunction with craniosacral therapy. Addresses attention deficit disorders, learning disabilities, pain, movement restrictions, visual limitations, emotional blocks and other medical conditions.
The Diversified Technique
The Diversified Technique: each adjustment uses a specific line of drive for all manual thrusts, allowing for specificity in correcting mechanical distortions of the spine. Helps restore normal biomechanical function and treat sports and other injuries.
Instrument Adjusting
Instrument Adjusting: application of low force to the spine using state-of-the-art technical instruments that accurately measures subluxation of vertebrae. This technique is often used when clients prefer low-force and no sound during their adjustments.
