Our Techniques
We employ a wide range of proven techniques for each individual case. Below, you’ll find a brief explanation of the popular chiropractic techniques we use at our practice.
Diversified technique is the most commonly used adjustment technique by chiropractors. Like many chiropractic manipulative techniques, Diversified is characterized by a high velocity low amplitude thrust and its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment of spine and eliminate joint dysfunction.
Trigger Point
The primary purpose of Trigger Point Therapy is to reduce the pain that results from hypersensitive muscles. Trigger points are identified by gently pressing on the surface of the skin, sensing the
texture of the underlying muscle.
A trigger point is like a knot the size of a pea, buried deep in the muscle tissue. It is made up of lactic acid, a normal byproduct of muscular activity, which sometimes gets trapped in the muscle
from physical, chemical or emotional stress.
Drop Table
This technique makes use of specialized drop-piece mechanisms in the table to assist the adjustment. Individual cushions or "drop pieces" located along the table support each area of the spine until
the thrust is given. Then, each drop-piece gently gives way, reducing the pressure needed to move a specific spinal segment.
Additional therapies
Our office employs many physical therapy modalities, including ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation and Cold Laser therapy to complement our other techniques.
