Chiropractic Adjustments
NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) is the primary technique used. It focuses on the upper neck and the adjustment is gentle. X-rays of your head and neck are taken within the office, and analyzed to determine your specific misalignment and how to correct it.
The joints in your back and pelvis, as well as extremities, will be checked for restrictions and adjusted. A variety of techniques may be used including Diversified, Thompson drops, Gonstead, and Activator.
Nutritional and lifestyle advice may also be provided. Supplements may be purchased through Fullscript, and delivered right to you.
Orthotics
A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance, and reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes and they are made from precise imprints of your feet.
Decompression
A spinal decompression table used computerized technology to create a negative pressure within the cervical or lumbar discs, which can result in the retraction or repositioning of the disc, leading to pain relief. Care is customized by selecting the duration of the treatment, as well as the force and speed of the pull.
Shockwave
High energy sound waves with the assistance of a conductive gel stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The waves promote blood circulation, breaks down scar tissue, and potentially decreases sensitivity of pain receptors leading to pain relief.
Laser Therapy
Light waves stimulate the body’s natural healing process by bringing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the targeted area. As a result, inflammation is reduced, circulation increases, and pain may be eliminated. Heat is typically not felt with these treatments.
