Services
Gonstead/Diversified Adjustments
Our Gonstead/Diversified technique delivers precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and alleviate nerve interference. This hands-on approach targets joint dysfunction, reducing pain and improving mobility through controlled thrusts. Patients often experience immediate relief from musculoskeletal discomfort while promoting long-term structural integrity and optimal nervous system function.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
Cox Flexion-Distraction is a gentle, non-surgical technique for spinal disc conditions. Using a specialized table, we decompress the spine to reduce disc bulges and relieve nerve pressure. This method effectively treats lumbar disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and facet syndromes while enhancing spinal flexibility and reducing inflammation without invasive procedures.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Our Class 4 laser therapy accelerates tissue healing by stimulating cellular energy production. This non-thermal light therapy penetrates deep into damaged tissues, reducing inflammation and pain associated with conditions like diabetic neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and improved circulation without pharmaceutical interventions.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation reduces chronic muscle spasms and enhances circulation through targeted low-voltage currents. This modality interrupts pain signals while promoting muscle relaxation and healing. It's particularly effective for patients recovering from acute injuries or managing persistent back and neck pain alongside chiropractic adjustments.
Intersegmental Traction
Intersegmental traction gently stretches spinal joints using motorized rollers along the spine. This passive therapy improves joint mobility, reduces stiffness, and enhances circulation between vertebrae. Regular sessions help maintain proper spinal alignment, prevent recurring issues, and complement adjustment treatments for sustained musculoskeletal health.
