Trigger Point Therapy - A trigger point is a pressure-sensitive area in the muscle that is frequently linked with pain and stiffness. Trigger points can be extremely painful, limiting your range of motion and making it difficult to do your daily activities.

Spinal & Postural Screenings - Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace

Intersegmental Traction - Misaligned joints in the spine can hinder your movement, interrupting fluid circulation around the joints. This fluid circulation is vital for your spinal discs to receive the nutrients they need. The disruption of fluid circulation can eventually lead to thinning discs, which can impact your long-term range of motion. The roller table helps by creating motion which can stretch the spinal joints and improve movement. It does this by mobilizing the spinal column while simultaneously stretching the muscles and ligaments. The patient lies face up on the table while the rollers beneath the surface gently move up and down the spine.

Adjustments - Chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which trained specialists (chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of this procedure, also known as spinal manipulation, is to improve spinal motion and improve your body's physical function.

Activator Adjustment - During a typical adjustment with the Activator instrument, the chiropractor applies the device to the tissues at or near the affected joint. An initial pressure is followed by a quick thrust from the device, which feels much like having one's reflex tested by tapping the knee

Thompson Table - This treatment technique involves using a drop table to provide low force adjustments, high velocity, and low amplitude. Patients are treated by placing them on a Thompson table. Drop-Table reduces wear and tear on our chiropractor while because the dropping device assists the manipulation while offering patients a less forceful adjustment.

Drop Table Adjustment - During this method, a chiropractor provides a sudden thrust to a patient's spinal or pelvic area. As the doctor makes the thrust, the area of the patient's body being worked on is simultaneously dropped by the table. This technique allows for thorough and less discomforting spinal manipulations.

Extremity Manipulation Adjustment - Extremity adjustments involve the manipulation of joints in your body to restore and promote their smooth movement. Once achieved, they help your body mechanics, which refer to how you move as you go about your day. It includes how you hold your body as you stand, sit, lift, bend, carry, and sleep.

Cervical Spine Manipulation Adjustment - A neck adjustment (cervical manipulation) is a precise procedure meant to relieve neck muscle tension, treat headaches, and align your upper spine.

Spinal Manipulation Adjustment - Spinal Manipulation is a technique where practitioners use their hands or a device to apply a controlled thrust to a joint of your spine. The amount of force can vary, but the thrust moves the joint more than it would on its own. Spinal manipulation is different from spinal mobilization, which doesn’t involve a thrust, is performed within a joint’s natural range of motion, and can be controlled by the patient.

Flexion-Distraction - Flexion-Distraction is a chiropractic treatment technique used to treat many lumbar spine conditions such as Sciatica, Low back pain, disc injuries, Arthritis, Scoliosis, and strain. It is a non-surgical technique our Woodbury Chiropractor uses to enhance spinal motion and resolve herniations disc and bulges disc. This chiropractic treatment is a safe, gentle, non-force procedure and works very well to pressure the patient’s spinal nerves.

Gonstead Technique - This technique involves the correction of subluxations. A subluxation is a name given to a spinal bone stuck in a specific spot, limiting the body’s ability to stay healthy. The Gonstead technique avoids rotating or twisting the spine during chiropractic procedure because it can increase the rate of degeneration in the spinal pad.

Diversified Technique - This technique is commonly used, with most chiropractors using the diversified method on all their patients. The diversified technique can help repair joint disfunction, restore spinal alignment, and ensure proper movement and mobility. Our chiropractors can restore a patient’s spinal alignment and increase range of motion using hands-on thrusts with the utmost precision.
