Our Techniques
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Koren Specific Technique
Koren Specific Technique or KST http://www.teddkorenseminars.com/ is a healthcare protocol that is used to improve patient results and expand the chiropractor's ability to help others. Many patients describe it as "The best adjustment I ever had in my life!" It allows the chiropractor to quickly and easily analyze and adjust the structural system for subluxations: cranial bones, TMJ, the entire spinal column, pelvis, pectoral girdle, sternum, coccyx, ribs, extremities - anything/anywhere. The chiropractor can adjust disks and immediately know if the subluxation was corrected. The technique is Low Force. No "cracking" patients, no drops, no pressure, which saves the doctor's hands, arms, shoulders, allowing him or her to not hurt themselves while gently and very effectively helping others. The chiropractor can adjust patients standing, sitting and lying and locate and release anxiety or panic (fight/flight) subluxation patterns. KST allows the chiropractor to correct "Dowagers hump" patterns and get results from the most chronic and difficult conditions. It's gentle enough to use on everyone - from infants to the very elderly. The practitioner can even specifically analyze and adjust him or herself, allowing them to stay healthy. With this method alone, although the chiropractor may use the following high-tech diagnostics, they can know exactly where to adjust without X-rays, computers, MRIs or other analytical equipment, when to adjust and whether or not they have corrected the subluxation. That's how powerful it is. Typically practitioners see real changes from the first visit including immediate postural changes and the doctor is not pounding on the same subluxations visit after visit. Rather, they are reating what the patient's body and mind needs moment-to-moment, visit-to-visit. Spines start healing and people start holding their adjustments for longer periods - and they refer more than ever as a result. This technique is obviously powerful when considering the dramatic retracing or unwinding that often takes place in patients - where both deep mental and physical stresses are being released and the patient comes back into balance.

Acupuncture
Over 2,000 years ago, Acupuncture originated in China and is one of the most commonly used, oldest medical procedures known.
The word acupuncture relates to a group of techniques involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body to affect other parts of the body by a variety of procedures. American practices of acupuncture incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries.
Chiropractic and Acupuncture virtually go hand-in-hand with each other since both are vitalistic, working on releasing, enhancing and balancing the body’s own restorative energies without drugs or surgery. In Chiropractic this energy is called “Innate Intelligence”. In Acupuncture, it is called “Qi” or “Chi”. They both also incorporate the idea that working on one area of the body can directly affect and improve the function other areas of the body.
In our office, we most commonly utilize painless and gentle, non-needle, micro-current Auriculotherapy Acupuncture. This is the stimulation of points on the auricle or outer projecting portion of the external ear for the balancing of chi energy related to other parts of the body.
Auriculotherapy
Auriculotherapy is a complete system of acupuncture able to affect many health conditions, addictions and pain successfully.
A widely accepted variation of acupuncture developed by Dr. Paul Nogier of France in the 1950s and validated in China through extensive research, auriculotherapy is the stimulation of the auricle or outer projecting portion of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body. The stimulation can be done with acupuncture needles, manual pressure, lasers, magnets, ear pellets or micro-current stimulation. In our office, we usually use micro-current because it is painless, non-invasive and highly effective.
Neuro Emotional Technique
Emotions are natural and healthy. They are built-in response mechanisms that primarily protect and promote our general survival. However, when our body is out of balance, emotions can literally "short circuit" our nervous system, affecting our beliefs, our behaviors, and even our physical body! The Neuro Emotional TechniqueR (NET) can help bring the body back into balance using a mind-body approach. http://www.netmindbody.com/patients/net-explained.asp
