Flexion-Distraction

A professional chiropractor uses flexion-distraction to solve some lumbar-spine conditions such as disc injuries, lower back pain, and sciatica. The technique focuses on increasing the overall spinal motion while fixing every disc bulges and herniation. It allows for vital nutrients to get into the spinal discs, thus keeping them healthy and functioning correctly. Learn more about Top Benefits of Chiropractic Care.

Gonstead Technique

This is an adjustment technique used to realign the spine. It is well-known for being the most precise and effective technique to relieve chronic or acute pain and promote optimal spine alignment. It is a manual strategy where the chiropractor adjusts the pelvis or lower back.



Activator Method

Chiropractors commonly use the activator method to alleviate neck and back pain. The chiropractor uses a particular activator adjusting instrument. The instrument allows the chiropractor to identify affected areas with a short and low-force pulse. The speed prevents your body from tensing up. The best thing about this technique is that the pulse applies to a particular localized area that contains the joints from bending or being in compromised positions.
