CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS

COX® TECHNIQUE

Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression is a gentle, non-force chiropractic adjusting approach. With the use of a specialized table that moves in normal spinal ranges of motion, the physician is able to open compressed spinal disc spaces, traction the spine and reduce pressure on nerve tissue and other spinal structures

DIVERSIFIED TECHNIQUE

Our physicians are trained in an adjusting technique commonly referred to as “Diversified.” First, an analysis of your spine is performed called motion palpation, with the chiropractor feeling the spinal joints move as you turn and bend. With the restriction of one or more spinal areas identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth and angle that are used is the result of years of experience, practice and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics.

The force delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint. This sound may be interesting, but is not a guide as to the value or effectiveness of the adjustment.

While some spinal ailments respond very well to a quick adjustment or two based upon improving movement of a ‘stuck’ or irritated joint space; this regrettably isn’t the case for typical back pain. What has been supported by research is our ability through the adjustment to provide strong reflex analgesia and improve vascular turnover in the areas involved with blood supply to the discs, joints, and nerve tissues.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a form of manual therapy that uses gentle touch to manipulate the synarthrodial joints of the cranium. A practitioner of cranial-sacral therapy may also apply light touches to a patient's spine and pelvic bones. Our doctors typically use this technique to treat pediatric patients and toddlers who's bony tissues are not fully developed.

WEBSTER TECHNIQUE

Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.

Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation works to have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.

FUNCTIONAL RANGE CONDITIONING

FRC is a system of training that was developed in part to address errors made at the onset of and throughout training programs. Used throughout the professional athletic realm, the training system works to allow for better control over one's full joint motion to achieve increased performance, reduce injury, and work towards joint longevity.

Dr. Tyler is certified as a FRC mobility specialist and Functional Range Release provider.
