Adjustments and manipulation

Adjustments, or manipulation as they're sometimes referred to is the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident.

When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow of all nerves and systems in the body from the brain, we can't function at our peak.

An adjustment is often a pressure from the chiropractor utilizing the hands or an instrument to move a vertebrae back into place. This happens with a quick movement and is often without discomfort. You may hear a noise that sounds like you're cracking your knuckles referred to as joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.

Overall, adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level. When the body is in alignment, the body is able to respond and perform as it was designed to.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on approach used to improve movement, decrease pain, and support healing. It includes specific techniques such as joint mobilization, spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, and muscle release to restore proper motion and reduce tension.

 

By using skilled, targeted pressure and movement, chiropractors help improve joint function, relax tight muscles, increase circulation, and calm the nervous system — all to help your body move better and feel better naturally.

Intersegmental Traction (Rolly-Bed as our patients call it!)

Intersegmental traction is a gentle therapy used in chiropractic care to help improve spinal mobility and circulation. You lie comfortably on a specialized table with rolling cams that slowly move up and down the spine, creating a rhythmic stretching motion.

 

This passive movement helps increase flexibility between spinal segments, reduce stiffness, improve joint motion, and promote blood flow to the discs and surrounding tissues. It’s relaxing, comfortable, and often used to support spinal health alongside adjustments and other therapies.

Flexion-Distraction Table

Flexion distraction is a gentle, non-force chiropractic technique used to relieve pressure in the spine. It’s performed on a specialized table that slowly and rhythmically stretches and flexes the lower back while the chiropractor applies light, targeted pressure.

 

This technique helps decrease disc pressure, improve spinal motion, reduce nerve irritation, and ease lower back pain — especially in cases involving disc bulges, herniations, or sciatica. It’s comfortable, controlled, and designed to support healing without high-force movements.

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy is an excellent treatment that is often utilized to treat a wide array of conditions and pain. This therapy allows the body to naturally heal itself by utilizing a combination of electric stimulation and cold laser technology. This low level laser therapy consists of a light-emitting device that can be utilized on many different parts of the body.

In addition to simple back and neck pain, cold laser therapy has been utilized for a number of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis and sprains. The number of conditions that have been notably increased in the usage of this therapy include carpal tunnel syndrome, wound management, shoulder and neck injuries, muscle and joint pain, as well as a long list of others.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment used in chiropractic care to promote healing in muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. It uses high-frequency sound waves delivered through a handheld device to create gentle, deep tissue stimulation.

 

This helps increase circulation, reduce inflammation, relax tight muscles, and support tissue repair. Patients typically feel a mild warming sensation, and it’s often used alongside adjustments and other therapies to help decrease pain and improve recovery.

Electrical Stimulation 

Electrical stimulation (often called e-stim) is a therapy used in chiropractic care to help reduce pain, decrease muscle spasms, and support healing. Small adhesive pads are placed on the skin to deliver gentle electrical impulses to targeted muscles and nerves.

 

These impulses help relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and block pain signals, while also encouraging muscle re-education when needed. It’s a comfortable, non-invasive therapy that’s often combined with adjustments and other treatments to enhance recovery.
