Services Offered

• Diversified Chiropractic Technique: The most commonly used adjusting technique by Chiropractors worldwide. This technique is characterized by high velocity, low amplitude thrusts applied to a joint to to separate the joint surfaces and increase range of motion, and can also include many different soft tissue treatments, exercise perscriptions, and patient education. Unlike some techniques with set examination protocols and treatment patterns, DCT relies on the Chiropractor's objective findings for each patient, thus making each treatment specific to the patient. It utilizes mobilization and manipulation methods from many other techniques without the rigidity of having to stick to the system, giving the Chiropractor many tools in their toolbox and the ability to find the perfect one for you!
• Instrument Assisted Adjusting: A gentler option that eliminates the twisting and cracking that can occur with manual adjustments. A handheld tool is used to precisely apply force to a joint. A great option for those who don't like the popping noise or for those who manually adjusting is not the best choice. For example, those with lowered bone density, or mobility challenges or severe pain that prevents us from getting into the position needed to adjust manually.
