Active Release Technique

This method uses a small handheld device known as an “Activator.” This allows for a chiropractor to administer a gentle impulse to the extremities and vertebral segments of the spine. Activators are spring-loaded and designed to adjust the tone of the nervous system, meaning they can be used to treat conditions ranging from headaches to lower back problems. more

Kinesio Taping

This technique is used on joints outside of the spine, such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle joints. The idea is that by aligning these joints, stress on the spine can be reduced. Carpal tunnel and posture-related issues are often treated using extremity manipulation. more

Graston Technique

It is a form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. Graston tools are made of stainless steel. They are used to scan over body regions and detect and treat areas of injured fibrotic tissues and restriction with the goal to break up scar tissue and restore movement.
