WHAT TO EXPECT

ADJUSTING TECHNIQUES
OSSEOUS TECHNIQUES
Using the doctor's hands,  the joint is adjusted to increase its range of motion.  This type of technique is most often associated with chiropractic and often results in a "popping" sound.

LOW VELOCITY TECHNIQUES
These gentle techniques are commonly used on pregnant women and children. Logan Basic is a contact near the sacrum, the base bone of your spine.  Pelvic Blocking uses angled blocks placed under the pelvis.  The patient's own body weight is utilized to slowly adjust the pelvis, a frequent site of pain in pregnant women.
