Chiropractic Adjustments

The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct the spinal subluxations detected during the examination. To do that, the doctor applies pressure to the bone and "unlocks" it from its improper position. The bone will then be free to align itself correctly.

Many people think that the chiropractor forces a vertebra back into its "proper" place. But only the individual's own Innate Intelligence knows for sure what the proper place for each bone is. The role of the chiropractor is to free up the vertebrae. Then, the body can do its job and put them back in the correct position.

Naturally, the muscles connected to subluxated vertebrae get used to their positions and have a tendency to pull the bone back out of place. It may take several adjustments before the adjustment "holds," and the bone settles into its proper alignment. -World Chiropractic Alliance

Variable Percussor

Vriable percussor treatment is the use of a pointed vibrational therapeutic device. It relieves trigger points and relaxes muscles while allowing enjoyable therapy and relief. This is ideal for patients who suffer from sports injuries, bruising, intestinal spasms, carpal tunnel and more.

Kinesio Taping

Most famously used by Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh during the Beijing Olympics, Kinesio taping has been around for over twenty-five years. Kinesio Taping is the practice of applying a thin, elastic, color-coded strip of tape on joints and muscles where support and stability is needed. The tape is applied to the skin in specific patterns using a technique designed to create support and guidance to injured muscles and joints without limiting range of motion. It is a "non-restrictive" taping method used to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused muscles and speed up healing. Specifically the process helps relieve pain by lifting the skin, allowing blood to flow more freely to the injured area.

When properly applied, you don't even know the tape is there. Dr. Viehbeck places the tape on slightly stretched skin from one end of the muscle to the other, with varying amounts of stretch to the tape. For muscle support and facilitation, the tape is applied from the muscle of origin to the muscle insertion. For rehabilitation or muscle inhabition, it goes on just the opposite.

Intersegmental Traction

Intersegmental Traction is a way of introducing passive motion into the spine for the purpose of stretching spinal joints and increasing mobility. Leave your worries and stress behind you when you enter one of our zen rooms and relax. During the session your ligaments and muscles will be gently stretched and the blood flow and oxygen to your discs, ligaments and muscles are increased, thereby improving balance, strength and mobility.
