Our Techniques

Misalignments of the spine, or subluxation, is a problem in the spine where an abnormal position/movement of the bones (vertebrae) disturbs communication within the brain and spinal cord causing a disturbance in the body. The interference in the body leads to a lowered resistance to diseases, pain, imbalances, and fatigue. It is sometimes called a “silent killer” because it can slowly affect your overall health without you even knowing it.

Many people who visit our office have health issues that they do not know how they got started. Pain is the last symptom to show up when dealing with misalignments of the spine and joints in the body so this is not surprise to us. An easy explanation is that the misalignments have been present for some time and finally have done enough damage to cause you pain. It is not an overnight problem for most people because there is a build up of stress placed on that part of the spine that causes the misalignment.

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 judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
