Whether you’re seeking pain relief, improving mobility, or enhancing overall wellness, our diverse approach to chiropractic care is designed to meet your unique needs.
Here are the key chiropractic techniques we use to help restore balance, function, and health:
Diversified Technique
The Diversified Technique is one of the most widely used and respected chiropractic methods. It involves hands-on spinal adjustments that target specific areas of the spine and joints. The goal is to restore proper alignment, improve mobility, and reduce pain. This technique is known for its precision and effectiveness in addressing a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more.
Diversified adjustments often produce a “popping” sound, which occurs when gas bubbles in the joints are released—this is completely normal and is a sign of the spine returning to its proper alignment. The technique is gentle, non-invasive, and often delivers quick results, providing lasting relief and promoting healing.
Drop Table Technique (Thompson Technique)
The Drop Table Technique, also known as the Thompson Technique, uses a special chiropractic table equipped with sections that gently “drop” when a force is applied. This technique is especially beneficial for patients who may prefer a more comfortable and less forceful adjustment. By allowing the table to drop slightly during an adjustment, the body’s natural movements are assisted, making the spinal adjustment more effective and comfortable.
This technique is ideal for patients with joint issues, muscle stiffness, or those who are sensitive to more traditional forms of chiropractic manipulation. It can help with conditions like sciatica, lumbar pain, and other spinal misalignments, while reducing discomfort during the adjustment process.
ArthroStim® Technique
The ArthroStim® Technique is a gentle, instrument-assisted approach that uses the ArthroStim® device to deliver high-frequency, low-force adjustments to the spine and joints. This technique is especially effective for those who may not tolerate manual adjustments, do not like “cracking” or prefer a more subtle, precise adjustment. The ArthroStim® provides a gentle impulse to the spinal joints, promoting proper alignment, reducing pain, and increasing range of motion without the need for twisting or popping.
The ArthroStim® device is particularly beneficial for patients with acute pain, sensitive spines, or conditions like fibromyalgia, disc herniations, or arthritis. It allows for a comfortable, low-impact adjustment, making it a great option for children, elderly patients, or those seeking a more gentle approach to chiropractic care.
