How care works

What an adjustment actually involves.

A first visit is not a mystery and it is not a lifetime commitment. It is a careful look at how you move, a clear explanation of what we find, and a plan you agree to. Here is how a typical course of care unfolds.

See care in depth
  1. 01

    Exam and history

    We start by listening. You walk us through the pain, when it started, and what makes it better or worse. Then we check how your spine and joints move, test range of motion, and rule out anything that belongs with another provider.

  2. 02

    Diagnosis you can follow

    We explain what we believe is driving the problem in plain language, using your own posture and movement as the reference. If imaging or a referral is the right call, we say so. No jargon, no scare tactics.

  3. 03

    The gentle adjustment

    An adjustment is a quick, controlled, low-force movement applied to a specific joint to restore motion. Some techniques use the hands, others a drop table or a small spring-loaded instrument. We match the method to your body and your comfort.

  4. 04

    A movement plan that holds

    Relief that lasts comes from what you do between visits. We send you home with a few simple stretches and habits, and we taper care as you improve. The goal is a spine that holds its own, not a standing weekly appointment forever.

Techniques

Different bodies need different adjustments.

There is no single right way to adjust a spine. We are trained in several methods and choose the gentlest one that does the job for you.

  • Diversified

    The classic hands-on adjustment, a precise, quick movement to a specific joint. It is what most people picture when they think of chiropractic, and it is well suited to restoring motion in the spine.

  • Drop-table

    The table has sections that drop a fraction of an inch as the adjustment is made, so less force is needed. A comfortable option for larger joints and for patients who prefer something lighter.

  • Activator

    A small handheld instrument delivers a light, measured impulse to one joint at a time. Precise and low-force, it is a good fit for necks, for older patients, and for anyone new to care.

  • Soft-tissue therapy

    Muscles and fascia hold the spine in place, so we work them too. Focused pressure and stretching release tight tissue around a joint, which helps an adjustment take and last.

Care plans

Care that matches where you are.

Not everyone needs the same amount of care. We usually talk about it in three stages, and most people move from one to the next as they improve.

Relief care

Get out of pain first.

For a new or flared-up problem

  • A focused exam and working diagnosis
  • Adjustments aimed at the painful area
  • Simple at-home steps to calm symptoms
  • A clear sense of how many visits it should take
