Lumbar Flexion/Distraction
Flexion/distraction manipulation is a treatment developed by James M. Cox. It is often used for lumbar disc injuries (herniation, bulges, etc.), and for other low back and lower extremity radicular conditions. The technique involves the use of a specialized table which allows for passive distraction, flexion, lateral bending, and rotation. These different planes of motion, allow for reduction of symptoms attributable to lumbar disc syndromes.

Interferential Electro-Therapy
Interferential therapy is therapeutic treatment to aid in the relief of pain and the promotion of soft tissue healing.  Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury.  This prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other natural pain killers to help relieve pain. 

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is therapeutic treatment using high frequency sound waves administered in the region of soft tissue injuries.  Sound vibrations, as fast as a million times per second, penetrate the tissues deep in the body, creating a heat response.  These vibrations and heat help break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations.

Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a term that describes the application of ice, cold towels, ice massage and compresses to reduce the temperature of tissues directly on or below the surface of the skin.  Surface cooling constricts blood vessels, numbs painful areas, and helps relax muscle spasms.  Cold temperatures reduce nerve transmission of painful symptoms and provide temporary relief.

Superficial Heat
Hot packs, warm moist towels, heating pads and infrared lamps are often used to help raise the temperature of soft tissues directly below the surface of the skin.  Heat applied to the surface of the skin enlarges blood vessels below the surface, relaxing tissues and can temporarily relieve painful symptoms.  Increasing circulation and relaxing muscles is helpful before or after chiropractic adjustments

Surface Electromyography (SEMG)
Surface Electromyography is a device which measures the amount of electrical activity your muscles release when they are contracting, more commonly known as muscle tension.  It is similar in function to an EKG which measures heart muscle activity.  Muscles have a tendency to "brace" in response to spinal misalignments known as Vertebral Subluxations.  When Vertebral Subluxations are present, the nervous systrem is negatively effected resulting in increases or decreases in muscle activity.  The SEMG shows the muscular component of the Vertebral Subluxations.

The computerized spinal exam is used to evaluate the related levels of electrical activity associated with Vertebral Subluxations and provides qualitative and quantitative data to assist in diagnosis.

Custom Orthotics
Spinal Pelvic Stabilizer Orthotics were developed by chiropractors for chiropractors and their patients to enhance the holding power of the spinal adjustment.  They are designed to provide a functional foundation for the foot which is placed into a shoe and forced to impact on hard surfaces.  Placing the foot into a shoe is like putting a foot into a cast!  Putting the foot into a shoe and adding a rigid or semi-rigid orthotic (like most Podiatrists use) can add insult to injury.  We treat the whole body as a group of integrated and interrelated components which are not separate.  We treat the foot as the foundation for the pelvis and spine, not as a separate entity.  We use flexible Spinal Pelvic Stabilizing Orthotics.
