TREATMENTS

There are many different kinds of treatment. Discuss with your chiropractor which is right for you.
Types of Treatment

Activator Adjustments:
This widely used method of chiropractic care, Activator Adjustments involve a small hand-held device. A multi-step process, it involves gentle impulses used to adjust the affected joint or tissue area. The instrument allows for precise pressure and exact location, applying localized force without adding additional torque or bending to the joint. It is the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical study research. Designed for back, neck and headache treatment, many people find this technique more comfortable than traditional techniques.

Arthrostim Adjustments:
Using a specialized, hand-held instrument, Arthrostim Adjustments allows gentle, quick, repetitive impulses to be applied to the affected area. The instrument allows for faster thrusts, up to 14 per second, and the effect is more precise and controlled than a human hand. It’s like having multiple tiny thrusts instead of one big thrust. It can be used for a wide range of adjustments, and results can be seen almost immediately. This form of treatment is ideal for infants, the elderly, and people who have acute pain.

Diversified Adjustments:
This principle technique is the most common method of chiropractic care, and the one people are most familiar with. Diversified Adjustments involve the hands-on manipulation of bones and tissues, using high velocity and low amplitude thrusts to realign the spine or other affected areas, restoring movement and joint dysfunction. The chiropractor uses a table or block to assist in this treatment. Adjustments of extremity joints and sports issues respond well to this treatment.

Erchonia Percussor Adjustments:
Erchonia Percussor Adjustments involve a hand-held instrument to provide a vibratory-percussive treatment to muscles, ligaments, and tendons to help increase range of motion. It works on the areas around the joint to relieve inflammation. The gentle vibrations from this treatment work well on immobilized joints of all kinds.

Flexion/Distraction Adjustments:
A gentler form of chiropractic care, Flexion-Distraction Adjustments involve a specialized table to allow movement of the body. The chiropractor can adjust the table, moving it up or down, back and forth to provides a distraction, or stretching, of the spine. This allows him to isolate and treat a specific area while gently flexing the spine. This treatment helps for conditions such as osteoarthritis, sacroiliac pain, neck or shoulder pain, and herniated discs. It is a highly effective treatment method and one to be considered if surgery is recommended.

Thompson Adjustments:
Thompson Adjustments involve the use of a specialized drop table. A chiropractor applies multiple thrusts which are enhanced by the table. Applying these thrusts along with the drop mechanism allows the body to become more relaxed and the experience is less traumatic. These adjustments are ideal for patients who are hard to move, difficult to adjust, or in severe pain.
