Services
Activator Methods
This technique uses a handheld instrument to deliver precise, low-force spinal adjustments. Ideal for patients preferring gentle treatment, it helps restore joint mobility and alleviate nerve irritation. Our chiropractors use this method to address back pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal imbalances with consistent, controlled thrusts.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
Utilizing a specialized table, this technique gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs. Effective for herniated discs and sciatica, it creates negative pressure to promote disc healing. Patients experience reduced nerve compression and improved spinal mobility through this non-invasive approach.
Gonstead Adjustments
This comprehensive technique combines X-ray analysis with heat-sensing instruments for precise spinal adjustments. Targeting misalignments through manual thrusts, it restores proper joint function and nerve communication. Our practitioners use Gonstead adjustments to address chronic pain and improve overall spinal health.
Myofascial Release
Focusing on connective tissue restrictions, this hands-on technique releases muscle tension and scar tissue. By applying sustained pressure to tender areas, we alleviate pain from repetitive strain injuries and postural imbalances. Patients benefit from improved range of motion and reduced inflammation.
Auto Injury Care
Specialized care for motor vehicle accident injuries, combining spinal adjustments with soft tissue therapy. We address neck pain, headaches, and joint stiffness caused by sudden impact forces. Our treatment plans include diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation exercises to restore function and prevent long-term complications.
