ADJUSTMENTS

The term "adjustment" refers to the specific manipulation chiropractors apply to fixated or mal-aligned joints that have abnormal movement patterns or which fail to function properly. An adjustment is an effective and safe treatment for spinal and extremity (elbow, knee, etc...) joints. The objective of a chiropractic adjustment is to reduce pain, increase range of motion, reduce nerve dysfunction and improved function.

The techniques used at Life Long Wellness are gentle and effective.

Flexion/Distraction technique is very effective for treating disc and joint problems in the lower back and pelvis. It is also highly effective for scoliosis cases. The technique combines a highly specialized table with the doctors hands to produce a stretch and gentle decompression in the spinal joints and discs.

Thompson technique is a whole-body protocol which utilizes a special table with "drops" built into the cushions. This technique offers a gentle and precise chiropractic adjustment.

Activator technique utilizes a hand-held instrument to deliver an adjustment. This technique also follows a specific, whole-body protocol. Dr. Atkinson uses this technique in very acute cases and for pediatric patients. It is also very useful in cases of severe osteoarthritis.

Diversified technique is one of the most common chiropractic adjustments. This technique is delivered with the doctor's hands. Years of training and study enable Dr. Atkinson to deliver a smooth and skilled diversified adjustment.
