Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Gonstead

Named for its developer, we conduct a thorough evaluation using full spine X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for accurate adjustments... read more»

Cranial Adjusting Turner Style (CATS)

Developed over a 20-year period by world-renowned Canadian chiropractor, Dr. Roger Turner, CATS is the most direct, fast acting cranial technique we have seen...read more»

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)

This technique is based on the ancient oriental principles of energy flow, chiropractic principles (specifically, Applied Kinesiology) medical bio feedback, and psychology. It primarily addresses a major piece of the puzzle in non responsive health problems, namely, abnormal physiologic response loops which have been set-up by past emotional stress or trauma. It is a physical, as opposed to a psychological technique in which the patient participates with the doctor to first identify present and past stresses causing their ill-health, then canceling the associated persistent physiologic loops. To do this, the person focuses on the event which created the physiology while holding certain reflex points then the doctor taps other reflex points along the spine. This technique does not involve hypnosis or anything spiritual. The patient is in full control of what they want to accomplish and how far they want to go with the therapy.

Applied Kinesiology/Muscle Balancing

We use muscle balancing to help regain stability in a chronic problem area (ie; recurrent lower back and/or leg problems, shoulder conditions, etc.) Reflex points are stimulated by hand or laser to strengthen weak muscles which have lost their normal tone or ability to contract at full strength due to trauma, chronic pain, internal organ weakness, or a body chemistry imbalance.

By conducting an initial exam, before starting treatment, and periodic follow up exams, the effectiveness of treatment can be properly monitored...read more»

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, please let our office know when you make your initial appointment. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.

Our Therapies

Infrared Heat & Massage/Acupressure Beds

Primarily used after spinal adjustments to further restore mobility to the joints, loosen scar tissue and calcium deposits, and relax muscles, thereby making the adjustments more complete and longer lasting. This therapy accelerates results, and in many cases, allows for maintenance adjustments to be scheduled further apart.

Ultrasound Therapy

Used in acute situations on the first several visits where there is severe pain, swelling, and muscle spasm. It partially decreases the swelling and muscle spasm prior to an adjustment. This allows for a more effective mobilization of the bone and quicker resolution of the inflammation and pain.

“Cold” Laser

Cold laser is extremely safe and of benefit in virtually every health condition. It is called cold because it does not emit or produce any heat, therefore, it will not burn tissue. There has never been a recorded adverse affect in over 25 years of use of this type of laser.

Laser therapy literally infuses the tissue being treated with energy so it can regenerate itself, and has application in acute and chronic conditions. It is particularly effective in strengthening weak muscles, relieving pain, and reducing recovery time; in many cases by as much as 50%.

We have two lasers at ABA, one of which has dual heads, if needed, for more advanced treatments.
