CHIROPRACTIC
This is a Chiropractic adjustment that is a blend of many hands-on techniques to help your body heal. The Traditional Adjustment is more physical than the gentle adjustment, and is better as a maintenance treatment rather than when in intense pain. Dr. Willen can work with you to determine what style of adjustment is best for you based on your condition and goals.
This treatment utilizes modern tools to perform many of the same things as the traditional adjustment, just with a lower impact. A gentle adjustment might be a good choice if you are new to chiropractic or you are recovering from an injury and are in a great deal of pain. As always, Dr. Willen will determine the best treatment for you based on your condition and health goals.
Activator, is a spring loaded device that when used applies a very quick, specific force to a joint to help restore movement, and it has been shown to be effective in helping spinal pain and Trigger Point (Muscle) Pain. Chiropractors can use this tool in addition to or as an alternative to the traditional hands on (Manual) style of adjusting. It can be a very useful tool for use on patients who are less mobile and have trouble lying down, as it can be used to adjust in any position. It can also be used for people who do not like the "cracking" sound that comes with a standard Manual adjustment, as it achieves the same goal of restoring proper movement to a joint.
