 DIVERSIFIED: This is the most common technique used by Chiropractors. The spinal joints are moved with gentle accurate movements.  

THOMPSON:This is another widely used technique in the Chiropractic profession. It uses the adjustment table to move the spinal vertebrae.

 ADJUSTER:This technique uses a device called an Adjuster to realign the spine. This Adjuster gently taps the vertebrae back into alignment, which is a Low Force Technique.

 MYOFASCIAL RELEASE/TRIGGER POINT THERAPY: By using both manual therapy along with an instrument called a Percussor, releases of both trigger points and the unwinding of the fascia aid in the patient's ability to recover faster and hold adjustments for longer periods of time. 

Auto accident injuries should not be judged just by the damage of the vehicles involved since even a simple fender bender can cause whiplash and soft tissue injuries. Sometimes the symptoms of these injuries don’t surface until days after the accident. It’s extremely important to care for your spine as soon after the accident as possible to ensure that the body heals properly. We recommend that you be seen by a chiropractor to prevent any injury from turning into a long-term condition. 

Common symptoms of trauma after such an event can include sleepiness, headaches, neck/back pain, loss of range of motion in the spine, numbness or tingling in the extremities, and more. Not sure how to process claims for injuries resulting from an auto accident? We are happy to answer questions and walk you through your options for filing claims with the appropriate insurance company(ies). 

 Whether you are a recreational or professional athlete, injuries can occur from sports based activities. Chiropractors are many athletes’ top choice for ongoing preventative and performance-based care. Used widely across many sports, the chiropractic adjustment and therapies can help to boost overall performance, decrease downtime due to injury and keep athletes in top shape.

Different physical activities increase your risk for various sports injuries. Common problems include:

• Ankle sprains
• Concussions
• Knee injuries
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
• Cartilage tears
• Meniscus tears
• Shoulder injuries
• Rotator cuff tears
• Tendinitis
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Hamstring strains
• Plantar fasciitis
• Stress fractures

Some of these injuries occur suddenly, like after a football tackle or fall, while others appear gradually. Tendinitis and stress fractures are two common overuse injuries that develop over time. Through the chiropractic adjustment of the spine and the removal of subluxations, chiropractic physicians help to return the body to a normal state, reducing tension, pain and the overall likelihood of injury.  

Your newborn baby may appear perfect to you, but that passage through the birth canal may have pushed vertebrae or extremity joints slightly out of alignment. These subtle issues can turn into major problems as your child grows. Proper nerve function is essential for the body’s systemic operations, balance, coordination, and development. Alignment errors can even interfere with nerve function. On the off chance your child emerges into the world in perfect musculoskeletal condition, minor bumps and jolts sustained throughout infancy can push joint components out of position. Without periodic chiropractic care to diagnose and correct these issues, the resulting nerve dysfunction can make babies more vulnerable to childhood problems such as colic, ear infections, allergies, and asthma. Children continue to benefit from chiropractic care after they enter school. Spinal misalignments during these years can contribute to learning challenges, while the stresses of backpack usage and school sports present ongoing threats to the musculoskeletal system. That’s why it’s good to get your children into the routine of having regular chiropractic checkups. Rest assured that chiropractic care is not only helpful for kids, but it’s also extremely safe. 

We use Erchonia Cold Lasers which are patented and FDA approved for use in the treatment of reduction of pain and inflammation. Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. The technique is called “cold” laser therapy because the low levels of light aren’t enough to heat your body’s tissue.  Conditions for which cold laser therapy is used:

• Ligament Sprains/Spasms
• Muscle Strains
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Tennis Elbow
• Neck Pain
• Lower Back Pain
• Knee Pain
