Chiropractic Adjustment
Misaligned vertebrae can cause irritation to nerves as they exit the spinal column and branch out to innervate the muscles and organs of your body. This breakdown in communication between your brain and different parts of the body can cause pain and/or impaired function. The Chiropractic adjustment is a specific thrust applied in order to re-align vertebrae to their correct, natural positions. Once this happens, nerve interference is reduced restoring communication and allowing your body to eliminate pain and improve function.

Lumbar Disc Decompression
Certain lower back conditions such as sciatica and disc herniations may sometimes require a gentle, non-force procedure called Flexion-Distraction. This technique utilizes a specialized table allowing the lower back to be gently distracted outward and then moved through specific motions. This helps to properly re-align spinal vertebrae and discs while simultaneously removing tension from nerves and lower back muscles. Flexion-Distraction decompression is an effective, non-surgical technique for treating low back pain that has been proven effective in countless research studies.

X-Ray Diagnostic Testing
X-rays are a common part of the examination process and are taken in order for our doctors to evaluate your spine’s alignment, bone health, to rule out certain types of disease and to ensure the safety of adjusting it. Women who are pregnant, most children and those who have recent useable x-rays will not require x-rays.

Non-invasive Computerized Spinal Analysis
This is a space-certified technology used by NASA that allows us to measure heat and electrical changes on the surface of the patient's body to locate areas of malfunction in the spine and nerve system. Heat and electrical impulses traveling into muscles are both under the control of the nervous system, therefore these tests allow us the ability to objectively assess and monitor how the alignment of your spine is affecting your health.
