Read on to learn more about these treatment options.

Gonstead Technique

Used to correct a specific problem, the chiropractor first located the problematic area then manually adjusts the structures of that area. The purpose is to realign the spine leading to reduced pain and inflammation in the affected areas.

Soft Tissue Therapy

A complex variety of soft tissue massage, this focuses on the muscles and ligaments instead of targeting the spine directly. It helps to release toxic byproducts and break up scar tissue in the joints to which it is applied. The goal is to assist in healing through improved circulation.

Graston Technique

This instrument assisted form of soft tissue mobilization gently scrapes and massages. It helps to identify and break up areas of restriction and scar tissue to increase function and reduce pain.

Flexion Distraction Treatment

Used for conditions – like disc herniation, joint dysfunction, and scoliosis – that cause neck and back pain. This treatment stretches and aligns the back and spine. It is clinically proven to relieve facet joint dysfunction that causes pain in the back and neck.

Thompson Technique

This technique uses a drop table to enhance low amplitude high-velocity procedures. It is used for spinal adjustment to allow for some give when the chiropractor uses a quick thrust. The padded surface and dropping action provide a more comfortable procedure for the patient.
