Chiropractic Adjustments
Our core service uses manual and instrument-assisted techniques to correct vertebral subluxations, alleviating nerve pressure and restoring proper spinal function. Dr. Brown employs diversified methods tailored to individual patient needs, including gentle approaches for arthritis sufferers and post-accident recovery. This treatment improves mobility, reduces inflammation, and enhances nervous system communication for both acute pain relief and preventive wellness care.
Spinal Decompression
This non-surgical treatment relieves pressure on spinal discs using motorized traction. Ideal for herniated discs and sciatica patients, it creates negative pressure within discs to promote retraction of bulging material and stimulate healing. Combined with chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy offers lasting relief for neck and lower back pain that hasn't responded to conventional treatments.
Graston Technique
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization breaks down scar tissue and fascial restrictions in muscles and tendons. Particularly effective for chronic pain and post-accident stiffness, this technique enhances range of motion and accelerates recovery. As one of only two local chiropractors trained in this method, Dr. Brown integrates it with traditional adjustments for comprehensive musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Activator Methods
The Activator Method delivers precise, low-force adjustments using a handheld instrument. This technique is ideal for elderly patients, arthritis sufferers, or those preferring non-manual treatments. As the only Bloomington-area chiropractor with advanced proficiency in this technique since 2012, Dr. Brown combines Activator assessments with manual adjustments for optimal treatment outcomes.
Motion Palpation
This diagnostic technique evaluates spinal joint motion to identify restrictions requiring adjustment. Using controlled movements and patient feedback, Dr. Brown determines optimal adjustment angles for maximum effectiveness. Particularly effective for low back pain, this method ensures precise, comfortable adjustments that align with each patient's biomechanical needs.
