Flexion-Distraction:
Flexion-Distraction
is an excellent technique for treating specific conditions
that affect the lower back.
It is a gentle and extremely effective chiropractic treatment.
Flexion-Distraction is a
safe alternative to back surgery.
Flexion distraction is very successfully by
allowing the disc to assume its central position,
therefore relieving irritation of the spinal nerves.
Many patients experience relief after 3 to 5
treatments. Flexion-Distraction should be considered for patients whose
pain has not responded to other types of care.

SPINAL
MANIPULATION:
Spinal
manipulations (adjustments) are safe and effective
techniques used to correct areas of the spine that have a
decrease in motion.
Spinal manipulations return the vertebrae to their
proper position. Spinal
manipulations are done by hand and are usually associated
with an audible “popping” sound.
ACTIVE
RELEASE TECHNIQUE (ART):
ART
is a technique that involves the evaluation of texture,
tightness, and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons,
