Instrument Adjusting Techniques

​

Activator Method

This treatment method and device is an alternative to manual manipulation of the spine or extremity joints. 

​

This form of adjustment is non invasive and very comfortable for the patient.  It does not involve any twisting motion of the neck or body. 

​

Pro-Adjuster Method

This type of adjustment is performed with the patient sitting in a chair face forward and down.  Then the doctor will use a piezoelectric sensor to tap his way along the patient’s spine and measure the resistance.

​

Based on his finding the doctor will adjust accordingly. This form of adjustment is non invasive and very comfortable for the patient.  It does not involve any twisting motion of the neck or body. About 40% of our patients prefer this type of adjustment.

Therapies

 

Flexion Distraction

Flexion Distraction is a chiropractic technique used to treat many conditions of the lumbar spine. It is a non-surgical technique aimed at increasing spinal motion and resolving disc bulges and disc herniations.

​

Electric Muscle Stimulation Therapy

The mechanism of the muscle stimulation is it delivers small pulsating currents directly on the muscles, which in turn promotes muscle stimulation, blood circulation and  muscle healing. The main benefit of electrical muscle stimulation therapy is pain relief.

​

Traction Therapy

The Triton traction device provides a treatment in static, intermittent, and cyclic distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, hip, wrist, shoulder). Therapeutic distraction can be applied in a variety of programmable patterns, cycles and functions.

​

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) / Graston Therapy

This therapy is utilized in order to break down scar tissue and any myofascial restrictions in a patients muscle groups. This can help with chronic inflamed issues or acute problems. It uses a stainless steel instrument to assist the doctor when working on the treatment area.
