Manual Adjusting

Our primary method of "hands-on" adjusting is the Diversified technique. This is the most common technique used by chiropractors. This type of adjusting creates the characteristic "popping" of joints. This popping has nothing to do with the vertebrae moving into or out of alignment. Popping happens when the joint space gaps at a certain speed. This creates a momentary vacuum within the joint and the lubricating synovial fluid releases a bubble of gas. The technical term for this process is cavitation. Do this faster or slower or with lesser gapping and no pop occurs. Popping does not mean the vertebrae are going back into alignment. While the popping sound may be reassuring that something has happened, research indicates that patients respond no better than when no popping occurs. Instrument Assisted Adjusting: This is a technique used for patients who are nervous about manual adjusting. Patients often remark that it is relaxing. It uses gentle rapid impulses to restore normal joint motion. Patients that don't like to hear joints pop, or don't like the twisting of manual adjustments will like this method. It has the additional advantage that patients can be checked and adjusted while standing, sitting or lying down.

Spinal Adjusting

Spinal adjusting is the primary form of care that chiropractic is based upon. Over time numerous adjusting techniques or methods have been developed. Some are well-founded and some not. This can create confusion among patients on which chiropractor to choose. So we offer this information to help you. Methods vary based on their analysis of the problem and the manner by which the spine is adjusted, manually by hand or instrument-assisted adjusting. No one technique works for all conditions or patients.

Extremity Adjusting

Adjusting extremities is relatively new in the chiropractic world. Some chiropractors have implemented extremity adjustments in addition to other treatments such as spinal adjustment or soft tissue work. Extremities include shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles, which are troublesome areas for many patients. These adjustments, more often than not, provide immediate noticeable relief.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive technique to help reduce pain and inflammation. Laser therapy can be safely used as an adjunct or replacement for pharmaceutical drugs. This pain relief treatment is FDA cleared and enables patients to have an alternative to drugs and surgery.

Laser therapy treatments last between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the condition being treated. Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to the skin, as laser light cannot penetrate through layers of clothing. You will feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.

Depending on the condition being treated your therapy may be administered through either a contact or non-contact handpiece. The contact handpiece is designed to allow the practitioner to physically manipulate the tissue while administering the treatment, resulting in a laser-massage treatment. This allows for light to penetrate deeper into tissues than the non-contact hand piece due to it’s ability to displace tissue through a laser-massage technique.

Patients generally see results after 3 to 5 treatments. Your doctor will develop a treatment plan that is optimal for your condition.
