Chiropractic methods

• Gonstead:
  

  It is described as a hands-on technique in which the doctor manually manipulates the spine to correct the misalignment.

• Diversified:
  

  This is another technique which uses hands on contacts. It is generally used to correct rotational misalignments.

• Thompson:
  

  Technique which uses a gravity assisted dropping section on the table to enable us to correct multiple misalignments in the spine. By doing this it decreases the initial discomfort of a Chiropractic adjustment, It uses a system of analysis of the differences in leg length to determine misalignments in the Pelvic region.

• Activator:
  

  An instrument adjustment which uses a small hand held device. It is a low impact adjustment which results in the correction of the misalignment.

  Activator History

• Massage:
  

  We offer massage therapy as a benefit to our patients. We have massage therapists on staff. Therapeutic massage is beneficial as it assists in releasing toxins in the body. Massage will work out the knots in the muscles and ligaments.  Our therapists are proficient in multiple techniques ranging from deep tissue massage to relaxing Swedish style massage.

• Radiology:
  

  On site x-ray facilities.

• Myovision:
  

  Computerized spinal examination through surface electromyography is used to evaluate the relative levels of electrical activity associated with vertebral subluxation.

  When a spinal bone becomes misaligned spinal nerves can become irritated leading to many negative effects. By interfering with the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, a vertebral subluxation leads to improper electrical impulses which can lead to poor health.

• Intersegmental traction:
  

  The patient lies on the table on their back. The rollers in the table massage the spine. This is used to increase motion in the spine.  We use the traction table to help relax muscles and ligaments before their adjustment.
