Diversified Manual Adjusting is the most common and widely used chiropractic technique. It involves a hands-on approach to correct misalignments in the spine and other joints. Our chiropractors use a specific, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to restore proper joint motion and reduce nerve interference. This can help with a wide range of conditions, from back and neck pain to headaches and sciatica.

Cox Flexion-Distraction is a gentle, non-force technique that uses a specialized table to decompress the spine. The table's moving parts allow the chiropractor to gently stretch and traction the spine, which can help relieve pressure on nerves and discs. This technique is particularly effective for treating disc herniations, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.

Thompson Drops is another manual adjusting technique that uses a segmented table with "drop" sections. The chiropractor applies a light thrust to a specific area of the spine, and the drop section of the table simultaneously gives way. This quick drop helps to facilitate the adjustment with minimal force, making it a comfortable and effective option for many patients.

The Activator Method is a low-force, instrument-based adjusting technique. Our chiropractors use a small, hand-held instrument called the Activator to deliver a precise, controlled impulse to the spinal joints. This method is often preferred for patients who are sensitive to manual adjustments, such as children, the elderly, or those with osteoporosis. It's also a great option for adjusting extremities like the shoulder, wrist, or ankle.

Electrical Therapy and Heat are passive therapies often used in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments. Electrical muscle stimulation (E-Stim) uses a low-level electrical current to help reduce muscle spasms, inflammation, and pain. Heat therapy, using a moist heat pack, helps to increase blood flow to the area, relax muscles, and prepare the soft tissues for treatment. These therapies can help enhance the benefits of your chiropractic care and accelerate the healing process.

Dry Needling is a modern therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger points within a muscle. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in Western anatomical and physiological principles. It is used to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. We often use dry needling as a highly effective tool for:

• Preventative Care: Releasing tight muscles before they become a problem.
• Pain Management: Targeting and deactivating painful trigger points.
• Rehabilitation: Aiding in the recovery from muscle strains and injuries.
• Postural Correction: Addressing muscle imbalances that contribute to poor posture.
• Sports Chiropractic: Helping athletes recover faster and perform better by addressing muscle tightness and soreness.

Chiropractic care is not just for when you are in pain. Regular adjustments and soft tissue work can help maintain proper spinal alignment and joint function, which can prevent future injuries and reduce the risk of developing chronic pain. We can help identify and correct minor issues before they become major problems, keeping you active and healthy.

We offer a holistic approach to pain management by addressing the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. By restoring proper joint movement and reducing nerve interference, we can alleviate pain from conditions like back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and more. Our comprehensive approach, which may include manual adjustments, passive therapies, and dry needling, provides a powerful alternative to medication.

Chiropractic care is an essential part of rehabilitation after an injury. We work to restore function to injured joints and muscles, reduce scar tissue formation, and improve strength and flexibility. We can also provide personalized exercise and stretching recommendations to help you recover faster and prevent re-injury.

Poor posture can lead to a wide range of issues, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and muscle imbalances. Our chiropractors can help identify the root cause of your postural issues and provide adjustments and exercises to help you stand taller and move more efficiently. We can also provide ergonomic advice for your workplace or home to help you maintain good posture throughout the day.

Sports chiropractic focuses on the unique needs of athletes. Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, we can help you with performance enhancement, injury prevention, and faster recovery. Our treatments can improve your range of motion, increase flexibility, and reduce muscle soreness, helping you perform at your best and stay in the game.
