Motion Palpation
Sacral Occipital Technique
Extremity Adjusting (Manual & Instrument)
Motion Palpation is a technique in which the doctor's hands are used to feel the motion of specific segments of the spine while the patient moves. The purpose is evaluation of the extravertebral joints and vertebrae to assess dysfunction within the joints.
The Sacral Occiptial Technique, or SOT, is a comprehensive technique which uses body indicators for determining skeletal, cranial, neurological and visceral malfunctions. This incorporates specific techniques which address changes in the extremities, pelvic and spinal biomechanics, cranial distortions, and temporo mandibular joint dysfunctions.
This is the application of chiropractic manipulation /adjustment to joints other than those of the spine, ie. shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand/finger, hip, knee, ankle. foot, etc.
Trigger Point Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy
Eustachian Tube Adjustment
Trigger Point Therapy is a technique used for treating myofascial pain which targets the contracted muscle by undoing the locked area. Adjusting tools, such as the Activator, are commonly used during this type of manipulation.
Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue to help accelerate the healing process and is used on patients who suffer from a variety of acute and chronic conditions in order to help eliminate pain, swelling, reduce spasms and increase functionality.
By using gentle and specific manual adjustments, this technique assists in restoring motion and function to the top vertebrae of the spine which will lead to improved function of those upper nerves supplying the muscles that open the Eustachian Tube.
Webster Technique
Pettibon Technique
Cox Flexion Distraction Technique
The Webster technique is a specific sacral adjustment to help facilitate the mother’s pelvic alignment and nerve system function. This in turn balances pelvic muscles and ligaments, reduces torsion to the uterus and offers a greater potential for optimal fetal positioning. Originally used for breech presentations and then posterior presentations, current research is revealing the benefits of receiving the Webster technique throughout pregnancy for the prevention of dystocia.
The Pettibon technique offers comprehensive and active rehabilitation for patients, based on a program focusing on the spine’s hard and soft tissues. What makes the Pettibon system unique is its use of x-rays for both diagnosis and assessment of the progress of treatment. The x-ray procedures assure exact diagnoses, assess progress and monitor whether treatment is effective. Under the Pettibon system, the patient undergoes an initial x-ray examination with seven views of the spine. These x-rays are used to measure impairments and are used to see how the patient responds to chiropractic care under the Pettibon technique.
The Cox Flexion Distraction or Cox Technic is a gentle adjustment procedure which uses negligible force and aids in natural healing of the spine. technique is usually done on a special table, which has movable parts which help in effective division of the different areas of the This aids in the decompression of the spinal column as well as the aligning of the vertebrae. It is very effective in alleviating the effects of degenerative disc diseases, lumbar, cervical and thoracic disc herniations and is very beneficial for those individuals who are not willing to undergo surgery to relieve their back pain.
