 Activator Methods
The activator is a hand-held instrument that was scientifically designed to give you a very specific "low force" adjustment. The activator instrument delivers a controlled, light, and fast thrust, without causing undue strain to you. One of the unique features of the activator instrument is that we can zero in on the exact area that is causing your health problem without interrupting the body mechanics of nearby vertebrae. Your body may have a tendency to tighten up and resist the thrust of a manual adjustment. Because activator adjustments are so quick and controlled, your body's reflexes are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise and exact adjustment. By pinpointing and correcting the exact area of spinal joint dysfunction with the Activator Technique, your problem is less likely to return! For more information, visit the

Cox Distraction Method
Cox Distraction Manipulation is a gentle, non-force adjusting procedure which works with the body's natural design to aid it in healing properly. This technique, which was established by James M. Cox, D.C., DACBR, almost 40 years ago, uses a specialized table to distract the spine. Cox Technique is a safe alternative to back surgery for those 95% of patients whose conditions don't demand surgical intervention. It is often used to help relieve pain from disc herniations, failed back surgery syndromes, leg pain, sciatica, ruptured discs, bulging discs, slipped discs, disc prolapses, and spondylolisthesis. Cox Distraction Manipulation provides the following benefits:
-
 It increased the intervertebral disc height to remove tension from the disc fibers and nerve by making more room and improving circulation.
-
It allows the nucleus pulposus (the center of the disc) to assume its central position within the disc fibers and relieves irritation of the spinal nerve.
-
It restores normal motion to vertebral joints.
-
It improves postures and locomotion while relieving pain, improving body functions, and creating a state of well-being.
