ANATOMY OF HEALTH

Many people need but are afraid of receiving chiropractic care because of the

sudden

twisting and popping that is used by the majority of chiropractors.

Our technique uses a drop table with the patient in a

prone(face

down) position

for the duration of the treatment. The treatment takes

longer then the

traditional

method, since many small, incremental adjustments

are made

. The biggest

difference between our technique and the traditional way of manipulating the

spine is that in the traditional method primarily the neck and the low back are

first tensioned in slight rotatory and or lateral bending position, and then a quick

low intensity force is applied to move the vertebral joints, some times resulting

in the "popping noise" that most people are familiar with when cracking their own

knuckles

. Using the drop-table technique at our office, patients are supine

through out the entire procedure, the neck and low back are not rotated and the

procedure is focused on slightly moving each individual vertebra multiple times

until the desired or the maximum amount of re-alignment is achieved. Most

patients report that they only feel the drop of the table and very gentle pressure

on their spine.

Before leaving, patients are re-evaluated either in a standing or sitting position

and

any miss-alignments found in these positions are corrected using an

Activator

instrument, which helps to gently tap into position any segments of the

spine.
