Our Services
The spinal cord plays a major role in supporting a properly functioning body. This means that spinal dysfunction anywhere in the spine can cause aches, pains, fatigue, dizziness, and other health complaints.
Our chiropractors use a thorough corrective care process, which allows us to discover the underlying cause of your pain or health condition. Instead of just masking the symptoms, we can treat your problem right at the source: the spine.
Once we identify dysfunction, we can restore central nervous system function and allow the body to heal itself and find balance again. We use a wide variety of chiropractic techniques to correct spinal dysfunction creating long lasting relief.
Cox Flexion Distraction Decompression Technic is a well-known chiropractic technique that is used to reduce pain. It uses flexion-distraction and decompression therapies, which stretch and decompress your spine.
With this technique, the patient lies down on a specially designed chiropractic instrument called the Cox Table. This segmented table moves as the chiropractor gently manipulates the patient’s spine.
The Cox Technic is very effective in reducing spinal pain. It reduces pressure on your spinal nerves and discs, decreasing irritation from bulging discs, improves range of motion, promotes good spine health, and it can even delay (or eliminate) the need for surgery. This technique is gentle enough to be used even if you have had spinal surgery, and it may be part of your recovery plan.
At the heart of this method is Orthogonal Analysis — a detailed X-ray measurement process that allows us to calculate exactly how your atlas has misaligned and determine the precise correction your spine needs.
Your care begins with a thorough evaluation including X-rays and postural measurements. Using those findings, we map out the exact vector needed to restore your atlas to its proper position before a single adjustment is made.
When it's time for your correction, you'll be positioned on the adjusting table in a specific way based on your individual analysis. Dr. Paxton will then deliver the upper cervical adjustment using either a gentle NUCCA hand contact or the Atlas Orthogonal handheld instrument — both methods are soft, controlled, and require no twisting or popping of the neck.
This upper cervical correction is one key component of our Atlas Sync Method — an integrated approach designed to restore spinal balance, reduce neuromuscular interference, and help your body function the way it was meant to.
Known as the birthplace of chiropractic, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, has been teaching proven techniques since 1895. Their foundational techniques (Palmer Technique Package) are still very much in use today, and our team uses them regularly.
Traditional chiropractic techniques include:
- Diversified: A manual thrust is administered to correct misalignments based on an analysis of the spine.
- Thompson: A special table with drop-away sections is used to both analyze the spine and gently adjust it.
While most chiropractic techniques focus on spinal manipulation, neuromuscular activation aims to retain the body’s motor control and muscle coordination.
Due to injuries and certain conditions, motor control may be reduced. By re-mapping motor regions of the brain, we can help you rehabilitate and gain better muscle control.
Trigger points are essentially taut bands of muscle located within a larger muscle group. They are often tender when touched, and they can refer pain to other parts of the body.
For instance, you may have a trigger point in your trapezius muscle that is causing headaches and neck pain. Trigger points can also reduce your range of motion in the affected muscles.
With dry needle trigger point therapy, we use dry needle techniques to help release the stubborn knots. This is thought to increase blood flow to the area and stop the pain-spasm-pain cycle. With repeated treatments, you can expect the knots to loosen, leading to a significant reduction in pain and tightness.
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. This innovative chiropractic treatment involves the application of pulsed magnetic fields to different parts of the body. It has a number of benefits, from reducing pain to boosting athletic recovery.
It works by inducing a mild electrical current into damaged cells, which increases blood flow to the area. This essentially works like a battery charger for your cells, and jumpstarts normal cell interaction. As a result, inflammation is reduced, pain decreases, and faster healing occurs.
We can use PEMF therapy in Arizona for pain relief, athletic recovery, improving muscle function, decreasing inflammation, boosting circulation, and so much more.
A growing baby places an enormous amount of pressure on the spine, which is why many pregnant women suffer from back pain and discomfort. The Webster Technique is a safe and effective chiropractic option to treat pregnancy-related pain.
This technique involves an analysis of the sacral and pelvis region. Then a Webster Technique certified chiropractor makes a gentle adjustment within the pelvis. Once alignment is restored to the sacrum, pregnant patients can expect a great deal of pain relief.
The Webster Technique not only improves function of the lower back, pelvis, and hips, but it can also support an easier delivery.
