Chiropractic care can be delivered via a number of techniques and methods. Here at Whole Life Chiropractic, LLC we are skilled in the following:
Diversified
Standard, hands on manipulation of the spine and extremities. A specific force is applied to the joints in order to re-establish the normal motion and functioning of the body. This is the method most thought of in conjunction with Chiropractic.
SOT
Sacral/Occipital Technique. This technique makes use of the patient’s body weight and gravity in order to manipulate the spine and extremities. Specially designed padded wedges are placed under the patient at specific angles in order to return the body to its natural alignment. This is often done in conjunction with Diversified adjusting.
Graston®
This is an instrument assisted soft tissue technique. The instruments are made of stainless steel and come in various sizes and shapes. The larger instruments are suited to larger muscles like the quadriceps. Likewise, the smaller tools are designed to treat smaller areas such as the carpal tunnel.
Graston® is used to treat just about any soft tissue injury with the exception of full ligament or tendon tears. Graston® has been used on patients facing surgery and in many cases has even eliminated the need for surgery. The technique can also be used post surgery to help the healing process and reduce scar tissue. Graston® is done in conjunction with diversified adjusting.
Soft Tissue Manipulation
Non-instrument assisted soft tissue technique used for lesser soft tissue injuries. The treatment is specific to the area of complaint and is only done in conjunction with diversified adjusting.
Health is more than the absence of disease or pain. It is also influenced by the quality of your interactions with others. To that end we also provide:
