Tools & Techniques
There are many ways to provide a chiropractic adjustment! Some people love the “cracking” while others prefer no cracking at all. No matter your preference, Dr. Maddie has a variety of tools & techniques to support you.
Manual Adjusting, aka the “cracking” noise! That noise is just gas being released from the joint as things shift back into place. It is nothing to be worried about and it also doesn’t have to happen to create change in the body. A lot of people love this type of adjustment & benefit from the release it provides.
Activator - A quick & easy handheld adjusting tool that can be used for everyone, from toddlers to the elderly!
Drop Table - A great way to realign the pelvis without any twisting or cracking.
Blocks - These help balance the pelvis by repositioning your hips in a way that is slow & gentle.
Muscle Work - Most people store tension in their muscular system. If needed, Dr. Maddie will help open up your body through working on those tight muscles.
