Adjustments - Diversified / Full Spine

This most commonly used adjustment and is characterized by a short, specific, and fast force applied to specific joints of the spine to instil motion, stretch surrounding muscles, and stimulate the nervous system.
Extremity Adjustments

The chiropractic approach can be applied to other joints of your body where function has been impaired: wrist, jaw, shoulder, elbow, hip, and ankle, etc. This technique is especially helpful for athletes.
Thompson Technique
☑️
This technique has evolved into one of the most utilized approaches because of its precision and results. It is very unique in that it requires the use of an adjusting table that actually moves with the adjustment, allowing for a combination that produces precise adjustments and high levels of patient comfort. This technique is ideal for a person with a reversed cervical curve, decreased disc height, bulging discs, and for patients with arthritis.
Cranial Adjusting
☑️
This highly specialized analysis can detect and realign misalignments in the skull with gentle precision and care. The way in which your Chiropractor chooses to adjust you will always be tailored to your specific case and body size. When adjusting children we make sure they are 1st comfortable with us and their adjustments are always gentle and tailored to their size. From experience children enjoy coming in to get adjusted and they learn a lot about how their bodies heal and function.
Chiropractic care is about much more than symptom relief. Chiropractors provide their patients with vital, preventative, and non-invasive health care through regular checks and adjustments. At the center of that specialized and trained care is an expert understanding of the science of vertebral subluxation.
A vertebral subluxation occurs when one or more vertebrae in the spine become misaligned, compressing spinal nerves and disturbing optimal nerve function. Chiropractic’s primary focus involves locating, analyzing and correcting these misalignments.
The term “subluxation” has a long history in the healing practices, dating back to the time of Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician regarded as the “Father of Medicine.” The word refers to a dislocation or displacement and has been integral to chiropractic education since the very beginning. Chiropractic’s founder, D.D. Palmer, reasoned that even a slight misaligned vertebra could cause pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Chiropractors use adjustments to restore joint function and support the nervous system.
They help patients maintain optimal health while avoiding unnecessary drugs or surgery.

Understanding Chiropractic
“Chiropractors have found in every disease that is supposed to be contagious, a cause in the spine,” wrote B.J. Palmer, the famous developer of chiropractic, in 1909. “In the spinal column, we will find a subluxation that corresponds to every type of disease.”
As chiropractic science is concerned with preserving and restoring health, it focuses particular attention on subluxations of the tiny bones of the spine. A vertebral subluxation happens when one or more of bones of the spine are out of position and compress spinal nerves. These nerves are the primary communication link between the body to the brain. Pressure on these nerves interferes with the communication between the body and the brain, which may cause organs, tissues, and cells not to function properly. Chiropractic identifies, analyzes and helps correct these disturbances to restore the body’s natural balance and the potential for self-healing.
How a Subluxation Interferes with Optimal Health
A subluxation interrupts the proper operation of the body’s nerve system, compromising the maintenance of optimal health. The human body consists of several interrelated systems, functioning with an innate intelligence to adapt to changes in our internal environment and the world around us. Every moment, impulses are delivered between the brain and the body’s 100 trillion cells to coordinate every movement and function. Impulses send this intricate information through the nerve connections in our spine. When vertebrae become subluxated because of any number of factors, interference results in the body’s communication process, negatively affecting functions and performance.
