Activator Chiropractic
|
With a light, quick force the Activator Method chiropractic instrument restores alignment and normal motion to joints that have become stuck in the wrong position. Invented in 1967, Activator was the first and and remains the most-widely used chiropractic instrument. it was designed after a dental tool used to loosen teeth, using a very small but fast force. It moves the bone in the direction of alignment and breaks adhesions around the joint to restore movement. The very quick stretch of the soft-tissue surrounding the joint resets the neurological loop with the brain, to reset the muscle tone - which is set by the brain. This unique hand-held instrument has been studied extensively with results published in hundreds of peer-reviewed research papers. Book Activator chiropractic with Dr. Kelley LeBlanc.

Active Release Technique
|
Active release technique (ART) treats soft tissue by combining manipulation and movement. ART can be used to treat problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerve entrapment. The practitioner uses their hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and range of motion of muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. They then a directional force is placed on the abnormal tissues as the patient moves in specific patterns. Injury and over-use can cause sprain, strain, tears, bruises and lack of oxygen. As tissue attempts to heal via the process of inflammation, adhesions and scar tissue can form. This limits range of motion and creates tension in the kinetic chain. Numbness tingling and weakness (as in carpal tunnel) can be caused by nerve entrapment. Nerves too can be released through ART. Book ART with Dr. Jack O'Hea.

Cox Disc Decompression
|
The Cox Flexion/Distraction table is used to gently stretch the spine(decompression) lengthwise - a stretch you simply can't do yourself. This creates a slight negative pressure within the disc which pulls fluid and nutrition into the disc to promote healing. Cox decompression is used on patients who do not have disc pain. This is a preventative measure to keep the disc healthy. Did you know that people lose height as they age due to disc dehydration and compression? A lifetime of gravity and stress on the disc makes them flatter, this can lead to the point where the discs do not act effectively as "spacers", at this point arthritis begins because the joints rub together. The medical term for arthritis in the spine is "Degenerative Disc Disease". To keep you disc healthy and prevent spinal arthritis, visit your chiropractor regularly and keep moving! Book Cox decompression with Dr. Kelley LeBlanc.

B.E.S.T.
Dr. Sue Morter Demonstrates B.E.S.T.
|
Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), developed by Dr. M.T. Morter, Jr., is a non-forceful, energy balancing, hands-on procedure that reestablishes synchronization of mind/body/brain function.
The practitioner uses simple tests that reveals short-circuited neurological patterns that have become "stuck" when an life-event which causes an emotional response has not been fully integrated and metabolized. Unresolved subconscious emotional issues create stress in the mind/body/brain, which show up wherever the body is weakest, in other words your Achilles heel. Those patterns can be demonstrated as tight muscles, dysfunctional organs or glands, emotional stress or depression type reactions. Book B.E.S.T with Dr. Jack O'Hea. |
