Techniques
Thompson Technique
The Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, has evolved into a system of analysis and a way of adjusting the full spine. The combination produces precise adjustments and high levels of patient comfort. The analysis of leg length determines which area of the spine needs to be adjusted first.
After gently lowering you to a prone position, individual drop pieces of the table give way, reducing the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine. It is gentle and easy! Because of its precision and patients results, it is a technique used around the world.
Diversified Technique
With the misalignment of one or more spinal bones a special hand position and contact allows the chiropractor to deliver a specific thrust at the right place and the right time. The direction, speed, depth and angle that are used is the result of years of experience, practice and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics.
The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint. This sound may be interesting, but is not a guide as to the value or effectiveness of the adjustment.
Activator Adjusting
The Activator Adjusting Instrument is the tool to deliver low-force chiropractic adjustments. This unique hand-held instrument has been studied extensively with results published in hundreds of peer-reviewed research papers, and was designed to give patients a specific and gentle adjustment.
The Activator provides a controlled, fast thrust that is comfortable for the patient. In fact, adjustments with the Activator are so quick and gentle, the body’s muscles are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise and accurate adjustment.
Patients from all ages can be adjusted with the activator. It is especially helpful for children, older patients with arthritis or osteoporosis and great for extremities.
Integrator
The Integrator instrument is a tool that was designed and built to reproduce what the hands intend to achieve during an adjustment. Originally it was manufactured for use in research only, but the advantages and benefits achieved when the results were measured lead to overwhelming demand for its use in private practice.
Also known as the Torque Adjustor is unlike other hand held instruments. The Integrator has true force adjustment as well as choice of three tip sizes, shapes and density characteristics to allow for the chiropractor the greatest outcome in correcting almost any subluxation that can present itself.
Orthotics
Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and can lead to more serious problems.
Your feet are a complex system of 52 bones, 66 joints, 214 ligaments and 38 tendons and muscles. Even the smallest imbalance in your feet can cause pain. Left untreated, chronic foot pain can prevent you from leading the active lifestyle you desire.
Custom orthotics help rebalance your feet, reducing pain and discomfort by enhancing your body’s natural movements.
