Adjusting Techniques for the Whole Family

At Absolute Wellness Center, we view the body as a complex, integrated system where physical, mental, and chemical stressors all play a vital role in your overall health and wellbeing.  We integrate many forms of health care to help you maximize your optimal health potential.  One of the forms of healthcare we specialize in is chiropractic adjustment at the Lake of the Ozarks.


Chiropractic adjustments are a great drug-free approach to healing the body naturally.  Chiropractic care has been used to treat back pain, headaches, neck pain, arthritis and joint pain, ear infections, improved mental clarity, scoliosis, asthma, healthy pregnancy, blood pressure, and a host of other health problems.  At Absolute Wellness Center, we use a variety of chiropractic adjustment techniques including the following:

Diversified

Diversified Technique is the classic chiropractic technique designed to address biomechanical failure in each section of the spine.  Diversified adjusting of the spine uses specific lines of drives for all manual thrust allowing for more specific correction.  This method has also been developed to adjust extremity joints for the treatment of other injuries. We use x-rays along with your medical history to analyze and diagnose your injuries.  No instruments are used in this procedure.  Instead, Diversified Technique is a hands-on technique that is used to deliver a deeper thrust.

Thompson Drop

The Thompson Technique utilizes a Segmental Drop Table to enhance the motion force applied on the area to be adjusted. This system takes advantage of the spine's inherent design of the joints to move the spinal segment in the direction that will improve the motion of the segment with the one above and below.  We can effect increased motion by applying an adjustment from posterior to anterior because the spinal joints face front to back with an incline that slopes more naturally backward.  The majority of spinal adjusting utilizing the Thompson Technique has the patient lying face down.

ArthroStim Adjusting Instrument

A practitioner's skilled hands can do things that instruments cannot do.  However, instruments can assist a practitioner to deliver beneficial mechanical forces that would be difficult or impossible to produce on their own.  For example, the ArthroStim instrument can produce a dozen spring-cushioned mini thrusts per second.  Rapid, repetitive thrusting enables a practitioner to distribute the overall thrusting force over a series of thrusts.  This helps to reduce the amount of peak force that would be required using a single thrust which is a great advantage when working with clients who are sensitive or in pain.

Activator Adjusting Instrument

The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique is a diagnostic and treatment system that uses a small, hand-held instrument to deliver a gentle impulse force to the spine.  This technique stimulates the nervous system and restores motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or joint.  One advantage of this instrument is the speed of the device.  The instrument is so quick that the body's muscles are less likely to tense in response and resist the treatment, making the treatment more effective.  Additionally, the applied force is localized and does not add any additional torque or bending movement to the joint.



At Absolute Wellness Center, we utilize many forms of health care to help our patients reach their maximum health potential and achieve their health and wellness goals.  One of the treatments we specialize in is chiropractic care at the Lake of the Ozarks.  We are not only experts in diversified technique, the most common form of chiropractic adjustment, but we are well versed in a variety of chiropractic adjustment techniques at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Give us a call and let us help you reach your healthcare goals.
