Our Chiropractic Techniques
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:
Diversified
After identifying which spinal bones have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is administered to free up “stuck” joints... read more»
Activator Methods®
This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust... read more»

Low Level Laser Therapy
LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) is the application of red and near infra-red light over injuries or lesions to improve wound and soft tissue healing, reduce inflammation and give relief for both acute and chronic pain.
LLLT improves tissue repair, reduces pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied. LLLT has been used for many years on sports injuries, arthritic joints, neuropathic pain syndromes, neck and back pain.
The red and near infra-red light commonly used in LLLT can be produced by laser or high intensity LEDs. The intensity of LLLT lasers and LED’s is not high like a surgical laser. There is no heating effect.
What can LLLT TREAT?
- Acute of chronic tendinopathies
- Sprains and strains
- Neck and back pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Post-operative pain
- Tissue healing
Muscle Energy Technique
Muscle Energy Technique (MET), developed by Dr. Fred Mitchell Sr DO, is a direct technique in which the therapist utilizes the muscle barrier concept to position the patient's body at their restrictive barriers.
A gentle isometric contraction is used by the patient to normalize the joint dysfunction. MET will help reduce protective muscle spasm, fascial tension, pain, increase joint mobility, restore proper joint biomechanics and postural alignment. You will see immediate changes in your patient's pain and functional level. The goal of MET is to correct motion restrictions and improve the client's functional range of motion. Because of the gentleness and effectiveness of MET, it is appropriate with the following patient populations; neurological, amputees, sports injuries, auto accidents, pediatrics, geriatrics, respiratory and general orthopedic conditions. The focus of these courses is to teach techniques that are unique to MET regarding evaluation, prioritizing findings and treatment of joint stiffness.
