Our chiropractic techniques
ProAdjuster
The ProAdjuster uses computerized analysis to precisely measure spinal joint motion and deliver gentle, targeted impulses to restore proper movement. It's an ideal option for patients who prefer a low-force, instrument-assisted approach — no twisting or cracking required. The system provides real-time feedback so both you and your chiropractor can see exactly how your spine is responding to treatment.
Flexion-Distraction Therapy
Flexion-distraction is a gentle, non-thrusting technique performed on a specialized table that gently stretches and decompresses the spine. It's particularly effective for disc herniations, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic low back pain. The rhythmic pumping motion increases disc height, reduces nerve pressure, and improves circulation to the affected area — all without discomfort.
Drop Table Technique
The drop table technique uses a segmented table with sections that gently drop a fraction of an inch as the chiropractor applies a quick, precise thrust. The dropping motion assists the adjustment, allowing for effective spinal correction with minimal force. This technique is comfortable for most patients and is especially useful for pelvic and lumbar adjustments.
