Choose Chiropractic Care for Healthier Living

Chiropractic care is a medical system that aims to eliminate the root of a problem rather than just suppressing the symptoms. Chiropractors manipulate the spinal column along with other parts of the body with the aim of easing pain, promoting the body’s systems to naturally heal it along with prescribing exercise to eliminate postural problems.

This approach introduces a healthier lifestyle for an individual.

Chiropractic Treatment Techniques

Here are numerous chiropractic treatment techniques that are used in treating patients:

Activator

The activator is a device that is used to correct minor misalignments in the spine. It sends a small impulse that is sufficient enough to move the vertebrae without causing any injury.

Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (BEST)

This is a non-forceful technique that is used to remove blocked energy in the body and allows it to heal itself.
Cox Flexion Distraction

This procedure is a safe alternate to back surgery and is designed to relieve lower back pain by altering the spinal column. However, it is also used to treat disc herniation, stenosis, arm and neck pains as well as many other complications.
Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology gauges a muscles’ strength or weakness to find an illness.
Thompson Terminal Point

This technique utilizes a special drop table to adjust the full length of the spine.

Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)

The SOT technique is designed to reduce and sometimes completely eliminate pain in the head, neck, spinal cord, TMJ as well as improve function of many organs.

Logan Basic Technique

The Logan technique applies a gentle and sustained pressure at the base of the spine, that corrects the balance of the spinal column and releases tension.
A gentle, sustained pressure is exerted at the base of the spine. Correcting the sacrum corrects the rest of the spine.

Nimmo Technique

Nimmo technique is designed to relieve people of their chronic pain, whether in the muscle system, nervous system or skeletal system.

Orthotics

Orthotics focuses design and construction of external devices that help in modifying the structure of the body, such as uneven leg length, incorrect spinal curvature and tilted pelvis.

Emphasis on Exercise

Chiropractors believe that physical exercise is essential for the well-being of the human body. This is why they prescribe exercises that are easy to carry out at home. These exercises aim at reducing or preventing obesity that is a major factor in causing heart diseases, diabetes and many other diseases.

Maximum Sports Performance

Hey all, my name is Michael and I now work at Active Life Health and Wellness; however, I was a patient first. I crashed snowboarding and hurt my neck to the point where I couldn’t turn my head without turning my body. The treatment not only helped me with my injury, but it has increased my sports performance. I workout 3 times a week and play tennis for hours every other day, and I have noticed that I’m stronger in my workouts. In my tennis game I have noticed that I am faster, more agile, and my endurance has increased. I recommend our office to anyone who wants to want maximum sports performance and anyone who wants optimum health.

My name is Dr. Stanley

My name is Dr. Barry Stanley. As this is my first blog ever, I thought I should tell everybody about myself. I started to do just that: talking about chiropractic, health care, disc problems, what brought me to chiropractic, things like that. But a different thought kept creeping into my head. I kept thinking that there are six people contributing to this blog. Only two of us are doctors, the other four are not. That is six different voices and opinions on chiropractic and health care on one page. It made me very excited both as a contributor and as somebody reading this stuff for the first time. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I know I will.
