work with the spine

---

Triad Sports & Family Chiropractic have treated patients with various conditions such as headaches, scoliosis, low back pain, neck pain, whiplash, sports injuries and athletic performance problems, and chronic pain syndromes. We offer a variety of conservative health care services.

Initial Patient Consultation and Examination

This includes:

Comprehensive history

Musculoskeletal assessment

Postural Analysis

Neurological testing

Infrared thermography scan

Report of exam findings

On the initial visit the entire time will be dedicated evaluating the health of your spine and finding the source of your problem. You can expect that we will not proceed with any further treatment on the first day. On your following visit there will be a no obligation consultaiton to share a detailed report of your exam findings. If there are additional tests necessary (x-ray, MRI, blood work, other physician or specialist referal, etc.) the doctor with make that determination and provide you a referral at that time.

Chiropractic Adjustments

A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle and specific manipulation of joints which are fixated and out of their proper alignment.

 

We use both traditional manual adjustments at office as well as adjustments using a computerized system, the ProAdjuster Technique. Manual adjustments mean they are mostly done by hand while you are laying down on an adjusting table in different positions. The ProAdjuster uses a comfortable seat similar to a massage chair and comptuerized equipment to analyze and adjust the spine. As you may know maual adjustments are not only safe, but effective regardless of what technique is used assuming that the practicioner is well trained and skilled to apply it properly. In some cases though, people who have never experienced a chiropractic treatment may be uneasy because they are unfamilar with what to expect. By offering comfortable and consistent care with the ProAdjuster as an alternative to traditional manual adjustments we are able to help the most people.

Chiropractic adjustments can include:

the spine

extremities (examples: ankle, knee, shoulder)

other extraspinal (example: cranial bones, ribs)

Acupuncture
The use of needles and/or electrical stimulation to balance the body's meridian system (energy channels of the body that carry chi along yin and yang meridians/channels). The use of acupuncture by our doctor is typically an additional modality to addressing other underlying dysfunctions and most often a part of a more comprehensive treatment plan. In our office, full body acupuncture treatments usually take about a half hour and include a guided imagery and meditation during the treatment.
