Services
Adjusting
The following services are different adjustments that our doctors can perform.
Manual/Diversified
This style of adjustment is hands on and often what people picture when they think of a chiropractor. It often has the "pop" or "cracking" sounds with the adjustment.
Drop Table
Adjustments on a drop table use a specialized table to assist with the adjustment. It allows for a gentle adjustment and often does not get the "pop or "cracking associated with other techniques.
Activator
Activator adjusting uses a device to deliver a precise low-force impulse to the joint. It is a very gentle method and highly specific to the area being worked on by the chiropractor.
Flexion Distraction
Flexion Distraction uses a specific table to gently stretch and help mobilize the spine focusing on the low back. It is great for disc issues, facet joint pain, and spinal stiffness.
Webster
This technique focuses on the sacrum and round ligament during pregnancy. It helps to balance the pelvis and reduce tension in the ligaments that connect to the uterus.
Pediatric
