Services
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical therapy for herniated or bulging discs. It uses motorized traction to gently stretch the spine, relieving pressure on spinal discs and promoting healing. This technique improves mobility and reduces chronic neck or back pain without invasive procedures.
Flexion Distraction
Flexion-Distraction therapy treats lumbar spine conditions using a specialized table to create controlled motion while applying manual pressure. This method alleviates lower back pain, improves disc health, and restores spinal function through gentle, non-force adjustments.
Activator Method
The Activator Method uses a handheld instrument to deliver precise adjustments for joint dysfunction. This low-force technique assesses leg length inequality to identify problem areas, offering targeted relief for neurological impairments and improving overall spinal alignment.
Diversified Technique
Diversified Technique employs hands-on adjustments to correct joint misalignments. By applying controlled thrusts, this method restores proper spinal motion, reduces nerve interference, and enhances musculoskeletal function, often producing audible joint releases during treatment.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical Stimulation therapy reduces pain and inflammation by sending mild electrical impulses to targeted muscles. This modality promotes circulation, accelerates tissue healing, and complements chiropractic adjustments for comprehensive musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
