Gentle Techniques

I utilize a combination of therapies to promote proper motion and alignment of spinal joints. This approach provides my patients with as little discomfort and contortion as possible while relieving pain and increasing function. This technique is for patients who are uncomfortable with having their neck or back twisted and for nervous children.

These gentle techniques can include the use of Activator or ArthroStim tools for performing chiropractic adjustments.  Both of these instruments allow me to relay motion into spinal and ancillary joints without the need for contortion. 

Vibration therapy is another gentle technique that decreases the tension present in muscle bellies and their tendons.  Vibration can provide pain relief and allow for more effective chiropractic adjustments.  Heat therapy can also accomplish muscle and tendon relaxation, allowing you to experience a more effective adjustment.

Gentle techniques are for anyone, from infants to the elderly. Using gentle techniques can reduce patient anxiety and increase patient comfort.

They effectively provide pain relief and improved body function. Gentle techniques still address the roots of patient pain while promoting all-inclusive wellness because they focus on the connections between the spine and the nervous system. Through gentle techniques, a patient might notice improvement in overall health, including digestion, immunity, sleep, mental clarity, and emotional well-being.
