What Type of Chiropractic Techniques Do Our Doctors Use?

Chiropractic manual manipulation, often referred to as spinal adjustment, is a cornerstone of chiropractic treatment. It is essential for restoring proper alignment of the spine and promoting overall health.

Our experienced chiropractors use many techniques. The doctors use Manual techniques such as the Diversified and Gonstead techniques. They also use the Thomspon Technique – Segmental Drop Table.

Incorporating Pulsar technology into our practice allows us to offer a more gentle approach to your chiropractic care. The Pulsar machine uses soft vibrations, which can be more comfortable for patients who are apprehensive about manual adjustments. This non-invasive approach can help ease anxiety.

Manual Manipulation Options

How does manual manipulation help?

  1. Pain Relief: Manual manipulation is highly effective in alleviating pain caused by various musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches. By correcting spinal misalignments, it reduces pressure on nerves and relieves discomfort.
  2. Improved Mobility: Many patients experience enhanced range of motion and flexibility following adjustments. This improved mobility is crucial for maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
  3. Restoration of Function: By aligning the spine and joints, manual manipulation helps restore normal function to the nervous system, which can enhance the body’s ability to heal and maintain homeostasis.
  4. Preventive Care: Regular chiropractic adjustments can help prevent future injuries and musculoskeletal issues by keeping the spine in proper alignment and addressing minor misalignments before they become serious problems.
  5. Holistic Approach: Manual manipulation aligns with our holistic philosophy of chiropractic care, which focuses on treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. It promotes overall wellness by enhancing the body’s natural capacity to heal itself.

Different types of Manual Manipulation We Use

What are the Diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson Techniques?

The Diversified method is one of the most widely used chiropractic techniques which utilizes a variety of adjusting techniques, including quick, precise thrusts. Adjustments can be made to the spine as well as other joints in the body.

The Gonstead method focuses on specific adjustments based on thorough analysis and assessment, using a detailed approach to assess misalignments. Often using visual inspection, X-rays, and palpation to pinpoint areas needing correction.

Finally, the Thompson Technique. This technique uses a combination of careful thrusts along with a special drop feature in the table. When the chiropractor applies pressure, a section of the table drops slightly, which helps make the adjustment more effective without requiring a lot of force from the practitioner. 

Our facility incorporates various techniques to provide patients with chiropractic adjustments tailored to their unique needs.

Pulstar Technology

Pulsar technology is an innovative therapeutic approach that utilizes pulsed electromagnetic fields to assist in healing and pain relief. This state-of-the-art method helps to:

  • Alleviate chronic pain
  • Improve circulation and tissue regeneration
  • Promote relaxation and stress relief

By integrating Pulsar technology into our practice, we offer our patients a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments.

Want to know more about the Pulstar?
Here’s how it works:

First, The Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields: The device generates specific frequencies and waveforms, which are directed at the affected areas of the body. These fields penetrate deeply into tissues, affecting cellular activity and function.

Then Cellular Stimulation: The electromagnetic impulses interact with cells, enhancing their metabolic processes. This stimulation can encourage the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a key component in cellular energy and repair.

Finally, Pain Modulation: The technology helps to block pain signals sent to the brain and stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. This dual effect contributes to significant pain relief for patients.

Customized Treatments: Each session can be tailored to the individual’s needs, targeting specific areas and conditions. The frequency, intensity, and duration of the treatment can be adjusted based on the patient’s response and health goals.

Complementary to Manual Techniques: When combined with manual manipulation, Pulsar technology enhances the overall effectiveness of chiropractic care. It prepares the body for adjustments, improves mobility, and sustains the benefits of manual therapy.

Pulsar technology represents a breakthrough in pain management and healing, enhancing traditional chiropractic methods. It is an essential part of our holistic approach, offering several benefits:

  1. Non-Invasive Treatment: Pulsar technology is a safe and non-invasive method for pain relief, making it an excellent alternative for patients who prefer to avoid medications or surgical options.
  2. Accelerated Healing: The pulsed electromagnetic fields used in Pulsar therapy can stimulate cellular repair and regeneration, facilitating quicker recovery from injuries and reducing recovery time for chronic conditions.
  3. Pain Reduction: Many patients experience significant reductions in pain levels after Pulsar sessions. This technology helps to alleviate discomfort associated with conditions such as arthritis, chronic back pain, and sports injuries.
