The goal of chiropractic adjustments is to optimize the function of the nervous system and enhance spinal biomechanics by addressing misalignments or restrictions in the spine. These adjustments aim to remove interference in the nervous system, promoting improved communication between the brain and body, which can help alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and restore balance to the musculoskeletal system.

During the adjustment, the chiropractor uses precise, controlled techniques to restore proper joint motion and alignment. These techniques can include manual adjustments, mobilizations, and other specialized approaches tailored to the patient’s needs. This process often relieves muscle tension, improves range of motion, and supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

By focusing on both the nervous system and the structural integrity of the spine, chiropractic care can provide long-term benefits for overall health and well-being. Our chiropractors ensure each treatment is safe, effective, and customized, empowering patients to achieve optimal spinal function and maintain their health.

Evaluations and Adjusting Techniques

Chiropractic care begins with a comprehensive and thorough examination to assess spinal health, identify misalignments, and determine the best course of treatment for each individual. This evaluation includes physical assessments, diagnostic tools, and sometimes imaging to ensure a precise diagnosis. From there, a range of specialized chiropractic techniques can be used to address spinal conditions, restore proper function, and promote overall health and well-being.

  • Gonstead Technique: Known for its precision, this method involves a detailed analysis of spinal misalignments using X-rays and hands-on evaluation. Specific, targeted adjustments are applied to restore optimal alignment and improve nerve function.
  • Thompson Technique: Utilizing a specialized drop table, this approach delivers gentle and precise adjustments. The drop mechanism reduces the force required, offering a comfortable and effective solution for patients of all ages.
  • Activator Method: This low-force technique uses a handheld instrument to provide quick, targeted adjustments to the spine or extremities. It’s an ideal option for patients seeking a non-manual adjustment.
  • Diversified Technique: A widely practiced method, Diversified involves manual adjustments designed to restore proper joint motion and alignment. It is effective for a broad range of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT): Focusing on the relationship between the sacrum (base of the spine) and the occiput (base of the skull), SOT works to enhance nervous system function and alleviate tension throughout the body.
  • McKenzie Method: An exercise-based therapy, McKenzie emphasizes patient education and self-care strategies to manage and prevent spinal pain. It is particularly beneficial for disc-related issues and postural imbalances.

With this thorough evaluation and customized application of these techniques, chiropractors are able to diagnose and treat the root causes of dysfunction. By restoring spinal biomechanics and removing interference to the nervous system, chiropractic care not only alleviates pain but also supports the body’s natural healing processes and long-term wellness.
