Chiropractic Adjustment

A chiropractic adjustment is a primary treatment used by all chiropractors. Our chiropractor uses a variety of adjustment techniques including:

• The Gonstead Technique
• The Thompson Technique
• The toggle recoil technique
• The Diversified Technique
• The Activator instrument technique

All the different techniques have one thing in common – restoring the spine’s natural alignment to relieve your pain and restore your mobility.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a treatment that can be very effective in the treatment of back pain and neck pain. With spinal decompression, the spine is stretched to help alleviate pressure on the nerves in the spine. The spinal discs provide a cushion between vertebrae and if the bulge or herniate they press on the nerve, causing pain. Stretching helps allow the disc to return to its original location.

Massage

Massage can be very relaxing to the back and neck and remove some of the tension and pain caused by that tension. Knots in the muscles can be worked out and allow the soft tissues to be pain-free and do their job of supporting the neck and back.

Corrective Exercise

Corrective exercises are used to stretch the back and also to help with mobility and flexibility in the neck and back. This allows your treatment to continue at home between chiropractic visits and improves your range of motion.

Light Therapy

Light therapy helps to stimulate the cells to heal themselves. It provides drug-free pain relief. Light therapy increases blood flow to the affected area and patients can purchase a unit that they can use at home when needed for pain.
