Our Techniques
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Diversified
After identifying which spinal bones have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is administered to free up “stuck” joints... read more»
Cox Lower Back Distraction
This non-force approach uses a special table so we can traction your spine, relieving pressure to compressed spinal discs and facet joints… read more»
Trigger Point
By applying direct pressure or stretching of the affected muscle, we can reduce muscle spasms and flush out pooled blood and accumulated toxins. read more»
Intersegmental Traction
We gently add motion to each vertebral joint to increase circulation, reduce scar tissue and enhance the effectiveness of your adjustments. read more»
Electrical Muscle Stimulation-EMS
By applying tiny electrical pulses to specific areas of your body, to control pain, increase blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce muscle spasm, relax or stimulate the nervous system or aid in the healing process. These special electrical signals release enkephalin and endorphin, two natural pain relievers.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep heat therapy created by high frequency sound waves. When applied to soft tissues and joints, the sound waves are a form of micro-massage that help reduce swelling and increase blood flow. We will often us this to treat ligaments, tendons and joint capsules.
Dr. Andrew Farrago also includes heat therapy and cryotherapy in his treatment plans.
If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Andrew Farrago know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
