AlignHQ Chiropractic Techniques

I was recently asked the question 'what techniques do you use?' by a new patient who is familiar to chiropractic care. As many of the people I care for have never seen a chiropractor... I don't receive this question often. But I know that it's a question many people would like to ask; So I will answer it here. Before I explain the techniques I use, I want to review the reason for their use.

I am looking to restore or improve the condition of your spine - since it is one of the most important body structures. All of the information your brain transmits through the nervous system each day is protected and supported by your spine. When the spine is not functioning to the best of its capability this can impact the way we experience life. This dysfunction is often experienced as pain, fatigue, or an aching movement that just feels off. This is often due to misalignment of the spinal joints.

Now, there are several methods I may use to restore and improve this dysfunction. These include diversified adjustments through manual manipulation, an Activator adjusting instrument, or SOT blocks. I also address other dysfunction found in the body with myofascial therapies and targeted exercises to improve the body and brain connection.

The first method is considered a traditional adjustment using an understanding of spinal mechanics to correct misalignment. During the adjustment a force is applied quickly to specific segments within the spine. My adjustments begin with little force, then apply additional force incrementally until the correct amount is reached. I believe that too much force is more likely to result in an uncomfortable adjustment.

The other two methods are used in combination, the SOT blocks and the Activator adjusting instrument, for those who do not prefer the manual manipulation method. The blocks are positioned underneath the hips while the patient lays comfortably on their stomach. This is most beneficial to those with acute pain with movement or who have limited range of motion.

We often care for the health of our teeth more than we do our spine. This is true for many and when you stop to think on it - when is the last time you did anything to improve the health of your spine? You likely remember to keep your dental visits or brush and floss daily. So focus on the other important areas of your health, like your spine.

Increasing health costs are resulting in lower utilization... and it's not a good thing.

While not all ailments fall under the realm of physical medicine or need to be addressed by an onsite chiropractor - having one does offer employees a sense of security. Convenient access to the opinion of a health care provider can mean the difference in the life of someone who lacks certainty or encouragement to address their health.
