Every person is unique with specific needs. Therefore we will custom fit their care.
The "cookie-cutter" approach is not what we do. Thirty-three years of practice has
afforded me the ability to learn a variety of treatment techniques. Care should be
determined by what is right for the patient, not the doctor.

Chiropractic can restore function when the muscles can no longer move the joint
themselves. A chiropractic adjustment safely generates the energy needed to overcome
a fixated joint. There are a number of highly effective adjusting approaches to improve
spinal bio-mechanics and reduce nervous system interference.
The primary techniques used include:

Diversified
One of the most widely used forms of adjusting in chiropractic. This
is a hands-on technique used to deliver a deeper thrust which makes
an osseous (popping) sound as the adjustment is given.

Gonstead
Specific x-ray analysis determines imbalances in the overall structure
of the spine, delivered by hands-on adjusting to realign the entire
spine and restore normal biomechanical and nerve function. The
classic, "turn on your side, bend your knee .... "

Thompson
A lighter form of adjusting. Drop pieces in the table allow the doctor
to provide a thrust while the drop piece gives, reducing the
amount of energy needed to move the specific spinal segment.

Myofascial Release
This technique uses kneading manipulation that softens, stretches,
lengthens and reduces the spasm that tugs and pulls on joints. A
myofascial release session is lengthier depending on the degree of
soft tissue injury.

Activator
The most widely used "low force" technique in chiropractic. A
small spring-loaded instrument is used to deliver a focused
corrective impulse into the dysfunctional spinal segment. This
technique is commonly used in patients who prefer a lower force
correction.

S.O.T.
Sacral occipital technique utilizes wedge shaped devices called
"blocks" to help align the pelvis by using your own body weight.
This is a non-force technique.

In the reality of treatment we often find that a person may respond well to one technique in
one area of the spine and a different technique in another area of the spine. Again the basic
idea of using what is best and most comfortable for you and your optimum recovery.
