5 Chiropractic Adjustment Tools to Speed Healing
Chiropractic Stretching
At your first visit, following a history and exam, I’ll perform a light adjustment to introduce you to chiropractic care. I’ll also have you do some short exercises that focus more on building strength, not just stretching the muscles.
The exercises in addition to regular adjustments help to speed up the recovery and healing process.
You leave feeling stronger than when you came in.
Classic Chiropractic Adjustment
When most people think of receiving a chiropractic adjustment, they think of “getting your back cracked.” And certainly, the traditional method is a manual manipulation of the body which causes a cracking or popping sound.
Manual spinal manipulation or “full spine” adjustment is performed with the doctor’s hands, focused on specific areas of the spine. This improves spinal motion and your
body’s overall physical function.
The Activator
The Activator is a hand-held mechanical device that is spring-loaded. It delivers a low force, quick impulse to specific points on the body.
Because this instrument is so quick, your body’s muscles don’t have time to tighten up, resisting treatment. That lack of muscle resistance helps to facilitate chiropractic
treatment.
The low force of the Activator is localized. There is no bending or twisting. In fact, it has about the same amount of pressure as getting your reflexes tested. Very gentle.

Torque Release Technique (TRT)
TRT is a non-invasive method for correcting spinal subluxations. It restores tone to the Central Nervous System (CNS) and its muscles without joint manipulation.
By improving the function and tone of your CNS with Torque Release Technique, the affected nerves begin to communicate properly with your brain and spinal cord. This allows the body to naturally heal itself.
As your Torque Release Technique chiropractor here in Waynesboro, I have seen significant improvement in health conditions such as chronic pain, neuropathy, sciatica, leg, neck, and back pain.
But just as exciting, I have seen improvement with digestive issues, anxiety and depression, fibromyalgia, and scoliosis.

The Zone Technique
The Zone Technique, taught by Dr. Peter Goldman, teaches that the body operates as an electrical system with six areas or zones: eliminative, glandular, nervous, digestive, muscular, and circulatory.
Each zone is regulated by a specific center of the brain. The brain is a positive pole with negative poles occurring in certain areas of the spinal cord. If there is an imbalance in communication between the brain and any of the negative poles, health problems arise.
To find the imbalance in your system, I feel for specific points on your head. These points are related to the six brain centers through nerve connections.
The Zone Technique focuses on restoring communication between the brain and the spinal cord, promoting a natural healing response and restored balance.

No matter what technique we choose we will help you start living the life you deserve to live.
All of these techniques offer tremendous healing benefits. That’s why I use all five—stretching, classic chiropractic manipulation, the Activator, Torque Release Technique, and the Zone Technique—singly or together to help your body recover from and correct circulation issues.
Common health issues that benefit from these techniques are hormonal and digestive issues, ridding the body of toxins, improving nervous system and musculoskeletal function, sciatica, joint pain, insomnia, and many other health issues.
All are gentle, non-invasive, and highly effective in restoring your body to balance.
