Services & Techniques

We focus upon providing CORRECTIVE CARE with the Pettibon System. This simply means that we get to the root of the problem and solve it.

The Pettibon System is a comprehensive rehabilitation program for the spine’s hard and soft tissues. We work with the brain to override the muscle memory that holds the patients injury in a permanent state.

Why is it important to work the muscles and not just the spine?
The muscles hold the bones in place. If your muscles are tight and stressed, they will pull you out of alignment. So we could adjust your bones, you will feel better, but your muscles will pull you right back out of alignment. Therefore, we retrain the muscles to permanently hold you in correct alignment.

How Our Care Works
We deliver specialized care to fit the patient’s individual needs, we DO NOT have a “cookie cutter approach” to chiropractic care where all patients are prescribed the same treatment. This unique approach allows us to provide optimal results for each patient.

We use x-rays for diagnosis, assessing progress, and proof of treatment effectiveness. It tests each patient’s ability to respond to care, and trains patients in home care for faster correction.

Throughout our care we will do “re-examinations” to track the patients progress along the way and ensure the treatment is achieving the desired results. These checks along the way help us make sure the patient is on track with their care, or allows us to identify if something needs to be changed to make sure we are getting the problems corrected.

The End Results of Our Unique Care
We offer an end result that not only patients feel but can see, there is a target or end to the care. Our results are LONG lasting and proven by before and after X-Rays.

Additional Treatment Used by Our Patients
The Pettibon Weighting System

We also utilize the Pettibon Weighting System which Corrects Forward Head Syndrome (head is in a forward position instead of directly over the shoulders).

Benefits of the weighting system:

- Helps the spinal muscles to relax and contract thereby repositioning and correcting the spine and posture.

- Relieves tension on the spinal cord helping energy to flow easier from the brain into the body restoring overall health.

-Promotes tissue oxygenation by increasing lung capacity.

-Relieves pressure and stress on degenerative discs and ligaments so they can rehydrate, regenerate and heal.
