Chiropractic

Whats Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a natural, hands-on approach to health that focuses on the spine, muscles, and joints. Chiropractors use gentle, precise adjustments to improve movement, ease tension, and restore balance to the body. By supporting the spine, chiropractic care helps the nervous system function better, allowing your body to communicate and heal more effectively.

What techniques do we use?

We use various of safe and effective adjusting techniques to suit your specific needs. These include traditional hands-on methods, as well as low-force and instrument-assisted adjustments.

Each technique is carefully selected to improve spinal and joint alignment, restore mobility, and support your overall health in a way that’s comfortable and effective for you.

Diversified

Diversified is a precise, hands-on adjusting technique to improve joint movement and alignment. It’s applied using a quick, controlled pressure to the joints of the spine or extremities. You might hear a “cracking” sound during the adjustment, which is simply gas releasing from the joint.

Thompson Drop

Thompson drop uses a specialized table with sections that gently drop during an adjustment to minimize force on the body. It helps improve spinal alignment, restore mobility, and reduce discomfort. The result is a safe, effective, and comfortable experience for the patient.

Flexion - Distration

Diversified is a precise, hands-on adjusting technique to improve joint movement and alignment. It’s applied using a quick, controlled pressure to the joints of the spine or extremities. You might hear a “cracking” sound during the adjustment, which is simply gas releasing from the joint.

Impulse IQ

Diversified is a precise, hands-on adjusting technique to improve joint movement and alignment. It’s applied using a quick, controlled pressure to the joints of the spine or extremities. You might hear a “cracking” sound during the adjustment, which is simply gas releasing from the joint.

Activator Method

Activator Method uses a small handheld instrument to deliver precise, gentle impulses to the spine or joints. This low-force technique restores motion and reduces tension to promote healing. It’s ideal for patients seeking a treatment approach that avoids traditional manual adjustments.

Joint Mobilizations

Mobilizations are gentle, controlled movements applied to stiff or restricted joints. Unlike adjustments, they use slow, repetitive motions to restore mobility gradually. This technique helps improve flexibility, decrease muscle tension, and support overall joint health.
