Our Techniques

Chiropractic adjustments are used to correct structural imbalances. The structural changes may be due to tense muscles, postural deformities, and improper nerve function. The adjustment is a way to move a joint and change the tone of muscles around that joint. The change in muscular tone has a feedback loop to the rest of the nervous system. At Smith Chiropractic Wellness Center we employ several different chiropractic techniques to facilitate these changes which include:

• Activator Methods (AMCT) – AMCT uses the Activator Adjusting Instrument, a handheld spring-loaded instrument, to give consistent low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustments. Because it’s many times faster than chiropractic adjustments delivered by hand, the body rarely tightens to resist, making adjustments comfortable and effective. AMCT is one of the most popular "low force" chiropractic techniques in the world.
• Active Release Therapy (ART) - ART is a soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves that occur from overuse of muscles. Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the problem area. The treatment is then administered by having the patient complete specific movements while the doctor applies precise, directed tension.
• Applied Kinesiology - Applied kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnosis using muscle testing to detect the presence of disease, vitamin deficiency, and other problems which occur in the body. The basis of applied kinesiology is that every problem with an organ is accompanied by weakness in a corresponding muscle. When properly applied, the outcome of an AK diagnosis will determine the best form of therapy for the patient.
• Diversified – This technique focuses on correcting misalignments in the spine which may be causing pain and/or spasm and can cause interference to the nerves, which pass through the spine. Relieving the nerve interference can improve a broad range of health problems by improving the nervous system's ability to communicate, regulate, and coordinate healing of the body. The doctors will most likely use their hands to deliver a precise and careful thrust to correct the misalignments.
• Pediatrics - Many chiropractic techniques are gentle enough to be used in the healthcare of babies and children. From the stresses placed on a baby's neck by a difficult birth to the many falls experienced by children learning to walk and play, babies and children are vulnerable to many strains and injuries which often don't reveal themselves to parents, yet, can affect the child's health and growth. Chiropractic can gently help guide the direction of growth and wellness from an early age. Babies have been successfully treated for colic, as well as digestive, feeding and sleeping difficulties.
• Toggle Recoil Technique – Resting comfortably on the patient’s side, the chiropractor’s hands deliver an ultra-quick thrust to the upper bones of the spine. Just as quickly, the chiropractor’s hands are removed. This energy allows the patient’s head and spinal structures to "reset" themselves. The object is to allow the wisdom of the body to reposition spinal segments with the least possible amount of force.
