Our Chiropractic Techniques
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience.
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Adjustments are non-invasive, safe, drug free and can be a way to get fast pan relief.
Gentle Spinal Manipulation
After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints. read more»
Spinal Focused Physical Therapy
There are certain curves that we like to see in the spine. If your spine doesn’t have these curves, we want to bring it as close to normal as it can be. If your spine does not have the proper curves, we will design a physical therapy program for you. read more»

Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping is a state of the art taping method used by many professional athletes to help prevent and rehab injuries. The new tape is lighter than your skin so your body doesn’t even recognize it is there. We have the training and ability to tape up to 20 joints of the human body. This helps the active person who is trying to prevent injuries, but also helps someone who has a current injury and wants to take the strain off of that particular muscle or joint. Kinesiotaping helps in the following ways; Dynamically supports better postural muscles, prevents harmful ranges of motion, reduces strain on the affected muscle, decreases the perception of pain, improves lymphatic flow and also improves superficial blood flow to the affected area.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation uses an electrical current to cause a single of group of muscles to contract. By placing electrodes on the skin in various locations we can recruit the appropriate muscle fibers. Contracting the muscle via electrical stimulation helps strengthen the affected muscle. Along with increasing muscle strength, it can also relax muscle spasms and increase blood flow to the affected area.
