Our Chiropractic Techniques
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience.
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Think of an adjustment as “tuning” a piano, adjusting each string so it produces the perfect tone.
Activator Methods®
This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust.

Active Release®
Athletic injuries and many muscle-related conditions respond quickly and permanently with this state-of-the-art soft tissue technique.

Acupuncture
The perfect adjunct to your chiropractic care, we use acupuncture for meridian balance, symptom relief and many organic health complaints.

AK Applied Kinesiology
Testing the strength of specific muscles of your body helps us find structural, chemical and mental problems and monitor your results.

ArthroStim
This hand-held instrument applies a series of highly controlled “taps” to misaligned vertebral segments, avoiding the twisting, turning or “cracking” of spinal joints.

Atlas Orthogonal
After studying the relationship between your skull and spine, our instrument uses a gentle percussive force to move the uppermost bone of your spine.

B.E.S.T.
Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique helps your body “re-synchronize” itself and discard defensive physical and emotional patterns from the past.

Cox Flexion-Distraction
We use a special table so we can traction your spine, opening up the spacing between spinal vertebrae and relieving pressure to spinal.

Decompression
Our specially-equipped table will ever-so-slowly stretch your spine. And then relax it. Stretch. And relax. Excellent for disc cases.
More about Decompression »
Diversified
After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation
We use this special type of low level electrical current to stimulate supporting muscles of your spine, reducing inflammation and spasm.

Extremities
While many health problems can be traced to the spine, wrists, elbows, shoulders and knees, other joints of the body can be helped.
More about Extremities »
Foot Levelers
Problems in your feet can create compensatory problems in back and neck. These custom orthotics can make a dramatic difference.

More about Intersegmental Traction »
Koren Specific
By testing or challenging specific muscles, we can determine the exact location of lost structural integrity and many non-spinal health problems.

Massage Therapy
Working hand in glove with chiropractic, therapeutic massage can improve muscle tone and help make lasting changes to the spine. Plus it feels great!
More about Massage Therapy »
Manipulation Under Anesthesia
Selected patients who suffer from chronic spinal conditions or longstanding scar tissue may be good candidates for MUA.
More about Manipulation Under Anesthesia »
Motion Palpation
As you turn and bend we’ll apply a light pressure to the joint being tested with our fingertips to feel how well things are moving.
More about Motion Palpation »
Myofascial Release
We’ll find tender areas where muscles and connective tissue are producing pain and restricted movement and gently release it.
More about Myofascial Release »
N E T
Neuro Emotional Technique helps identify “stuck” emotional patterns that are often responsible for aches, pains and even self-defeating habits.
