Frequency of Care Is Based on Your Needs

You can’t go to the dentist once and have your teeth stay perfect forever. The same is true with your spine, and we recommend regular checkups to keep your body running optimally. But we never want to see patients more than they need—the frequency of your care will depend on your body’s needs.

Our Techniques

At Active Life Chiropractic, we treat every person according to their specific needs, so we offer a wide range of adjusting techniques to meet those needs. Your chiropractor will determine which type of adjustment is best suited to your situation, based on their findings from your consultation and examination. We also take your preferences into account, because we want you to be as relaxed as possible during your adjustments.

Our primary adjusting technique is Diversified, which is a manual (hands-on) adjusting technique that offers great results for getting patients out of pain and back to health.

Other options we offer are:

Activator Methods® instrument-assisted adjustments
Flexion Distraction for patients with disc issues
Thompson drop table for patients who prefer a lower-force adjustment
Webster technique for pregnant women

We also incorporate electrical muscle stimulation for patients with muscle spasms, to decrease the spasms so adjustments hold longer. And we use mechanical traction to help improve the range of motion in the spine for patients who need it.
