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 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.
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 trigger point therapy, we use a specialized instrument and massage 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.
Spinal decompression therapy, also called nonsurgical decompression therapy, is an effective technique used to relieve back pain and leg pain. It is a form of traction therapy, which alleviates spinal pressure and improves mobility of the surrounding nerves, joints, and other structures.
With spinal decompression, we have the patient lie down on a mechanical table-like device. We then use the device to apply traction or compressive force, which stretches and relaxes the spine in a controlled manner.
These gentle movements create negative pressure within the spinal discs. This can support pulling herniated or bulging disc material back into the disc, and it allows healing nutrients to pass through the disc area, leading to decreased pain.
