A Good Chiropractor finds out What is wrong

A Thorough Chiropractor Figures out Why

- Dr. Dale Thompson

We begin with your Medical History

We Listen

We follow with the exam

  • Orthopedic - bones and joints
  • Neurologic - Nerves and their function

  • Functional - How your tasks are causing injury or pain

This is where our training in SFMA, Selective Functional Movement Assessment and TPI, Titleist Performance Institute as well as good old-fashioned observation comes in.

Treatment techniques and procedures that we employ include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments
    • We modify care for the person in front of us, often using extremely light force
    • Also called chiropractic adjustments, Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy (CMT), or Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT)

    • Provides clinical gains for activities of daily living

  • Corrective Exercise
    • Home Exercise Prescription
    • Movement therapy
    • Key to prevention of recurrence
    • Our exercise prescription is designed for the individual situation. A patient with a recent car accident, may just do very simple ranges of motion while others may be asked to challenge themselves and strengthen their injuries.

  • Soft Tissue Mobilization
    • IASTM/Graston Technique/FAKTR
    • Soft issue treatment during the painful task
    • Decreases Pain
    • Allows better rehab
    • Based on recent reaearch, we no longer use painful technique

  • Ice and Heat
    • The old formula of "ice for acute pain and heat for chronic" is no longer current
    • Look for our blog article on PEACE & LOVE

  • Intersegmental Traction
    • Passive mobilization of the small joints of the back
    • Decrease spasm
    • Allows more active therapeutic activity

  • Patient Education
    • The key to patient independance
    • The key to limiting recurrence
    • The key to aging gracefully
    • One of the single most important elements of our practice

  • Kinesio Tape
    • Another layer of connective tissue
    • Often allows safer/better transition to more activity
