"Look well to the spine for cause of disease." 

- Hippocrates

We are proud to be apart of the MyoVision Network where we provide evidence-based chiropractic care. We offer sophisticated spinal correction tools  utilizing the most advanced techniques in chiropractic care. These newer correction methods are gentle, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. We provide all new patients with a scanned image of their back using a revolutionary new tool from MyoVision - The ScanVision.

Our Techniques and Tools

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal bio-mechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach used is customized to each patient based on clinical judgement and years of experience. 

The primary adjusting techniques used include: ​

Diversified

After identifying which vertebrae have lost their spinal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up "stuck" spinal joints. A very specific direction, speed, depth, and angle are used based on the body's needs. Most of our patients prefer this type of adjusting, many noticing immediate benefits directly after the adjustment.

Athrostim

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

Pettibon

Click to learn more about the Pettibon Technique.
​This is a technique geared towards postural correction, which is so important in today's world of computer workers. Posture (aka - your structure) determines function. The most common abnormal posture we correct is forward head carriage, which is commonly associated with dysfunctions like neck pain, headaches, pain or numbness into the arms and hands, as well as decreased lung capacity. Pettibon practitioners perform specific corrective adjustments to restore proper alignment.  These techniques are used in conjunction with special exercises designed to rehabilitate the corresponding weak spinal muscles.​

Activator

​The Activator Method uses a small, hand-held instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument to deliver a gentle impulse force to the spine with the goal of restoring motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or joint.
It is an alternative to the traditional manual form of adjustment.  Next to the Diversified technique, the Activator Adjusting Instrument is reported to be the most common therapeutic intervention used by chiropractors.  This instrument is especially beneficial for extremely sensitive patients, infants and elderly patients.

Thompson Drop

​The Thompson technique requires a special table that has several movable “drop” pieces.  It is a low force adjustment that makes it especially comfortable for patient’s who are in pain.

Spinal Rehabilitation Exercises: The Science Makes the Difference

Our state-of-the-art rehabilitation program is designed to achieve very rapid changes; not only in your posture, but also in your overall health. 

Dr. Burl Pettibon, the scientist behind these exercises, says it best: “Optimal health is a journey, Not a destination.  Becoming healthy and staying healthy is a choice.  This program is about choosing to be healthy and functioning at 100% for the rest of your life.”

These exercises only take a few minutes in our office and are proven to improve posture, reduce pain and stress, increase flexibility, as well as hydrate and re-nourish the inter-vertebral discs of the spine.  Home care kits of the exercises taught in the office are available to patients, so they can get results as quickly as possible.

Standing Cervical Traction

​Our patients warm up with this exercise to reduce stress, increase flexibility, and hydrate and re-nourish the inter-vertebral discs. Just make sure you are well hydrated to achieve maximal benefit!

• Reduces stress in the neck and upper back
• Assists in the healing of disc bulges and disc tears
• Re-hydrates cervical discs, keeping them young, strong, and healthy
• Helps restore the normal cervical curve, known as “The Arc of Life,” to neurologists.
• Warms up the cervical and thoracic discs prior to adjustment so you can reshape your spine more easily

The Wobble Cushion

​Our patients warm up with this exercise for the low back while waiting to be seen by the doctor. 

• Reduces stress in the low back

• Assists in healing of disc bulges and disc tears

• Rehydrates and nourishes the lumbar discs, keeping them young, strong and healthy

• Stimulates reflexes to correct posture

• Enhances oxygenation of blood

• Warms up the lumbar discs prior to the adjustment so that you can reshape your spine more easily.

Head and Shoulder Weighting

Our specialized weighting system is used in conjunction with our vibration platform to achieve optimal spinal corrective results, quickly!  This exercise is performed for 5 minutes after the adjustment to strengthen and re-educate postural muscles, and HOLD and STABILIZE your correction longer.

• Corrects forward head posture, uneven shoulders and hips, by working with the body’s own righting reflex

• Relieves tension on the spinal cord

• Promotes tissue oxygenation by increasing lung capacity

• Relieves pressure and stress on degenerative discs so they can rehydrate

​When worn immediately after the adjustment or at home after cervical traction/wobble chair, the weighting system will help you hold your adjustment longer, accelerate your results, and create a more permanent correction.

VibePlate

This tremendously beneficial exercise sends vertical vibrations at a very specific frequency (Hz) that has been studied, and proven to increase HGH (human growth hormone) in the body naturally!  Increased HGH helps regenerate damaged bone, muscle and tissue cells to maintain overall body health.

• Reduces joint pain and stress

• Increases circulation

• Increased flexibility and range of motion

• Faster healing

• Improved balance, and strengthening of postural muscles

• More energy
