Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic care helps restore better movement and function within the spine and surrounding structures. By easing tension, improving joint motion, and supporting nervous system balance, your body is better able to heal, adapt, and perform day-to-day tasks with greater ease.

What We Use:

We draw on a variety of techniques depending on what your body needs. These include gentle, low-force approaches as well as more traditional joint work when appropriate.

• Logan Technique - A gentle, sustained contact approach that works with the body's own reflexes
• Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) - A gentle, sustained contact approach that works with the body's own reflexes
• Craniosacral approaches – Subtle, gentle work supporting the nervous system
• Activator – A small, handheld instrument for precise, low-force input
• Traditional chiropractic techniques – Manual joint work when clinically appropriate

What to Expect:

• Gentle, appropriate techniques used throughout each stage of care
• Improved range of motion and reduced pain
• Clear guidance to support understanding
