Chiropractic Treatment Options
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic Adjustments can safely be performed to the spine or other joints using traditional manual approach, activator method, or drop-table technique. Chiropractors generally use a combination spinal manipulation therapy, joint mobilizations, soft tissue and myofascial release, neurofunctional stimulation, and mobility exercises.
Webster Technique (Prenatal)
Prenatal chiropractic treatment using the Webster Technique involves specialized sacral blocking and adjustments, and may help encourage optimal fetal positioning in the later months of pregnancy. Prenatal chiropractic treatments offer safe and effective relief of low back and pelvic pain, sciatica and other discomfort during all stages of a healthy pregnancy.
Dry Needling & Acupuncture
Dry Needling and Neurofunctional (aka Medical/Contemporary) Acupuncture involves stimulation of the peripheral nerves at specific anatomical points for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and movement disorders, sports injuries, functional problems, headaches, stress-related disorders, and chronic pain stemming from or exacerbated by dysregulation of the nervous system. Medical Acupuncture differs from Traditional Chinese Medicine in that it is mechanism-based, not disease-based, and follows Western prinicples of diagnoses and treatment. *Eligible for coverage on insurance plans that offer Chiropractic coverage.*
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are made to measure with state-of-the-art 3D digital scanning, based on a thorough biomechanical assessment and gait analysis by a chiropractor. Orthotics can offer relief from some of the painful symptoms of dysfunction in the feet, ankles, knees, or hips, and should used in combination with treatment that addresses the underlying biomechanical patterns that are contributing to pain and injury.
Direct billing is not available on orthotics. Many insurance plans require a medical prescription for Orthotics dated prior to the biomechanical assessment, which is submitted as part of your claim, along with Manufacturer's proof, and your receipts.
Active Release Technique (ART)™️

Chiropractic doctors offer a holistic approach to care that also includes manual soft tissue release, exercise therapy, joint mobilizations, neurofunctional techniques, specialized modalities like Active Release Technique™️ and medical acupuncture, and lifestyle support .
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Soft tissue treatment by a Chiropractor can include manual therapy, instrument-assisted myofascial release techniques, neurofunctional activation, assisted stretching, stabilization and conditioning exercises, and specialized modalities like Active Release Technique™️. Patients have the option of Chiropractic without any adjustments.
Graston & Scraping (IASTM)
Chiropractor use specialty modalities such as Graston™ Technique, a form of instrument-assisted soft-tissue manipulation, for targeted myofascial release and management of adhesions that limit range of motion. Graston technique and scraping (IASTM) uses stainless steel tools similar to gua sha in order to apply pressure and friction to deep muscles and connective tissue, prompting the body's natural repair mechanisms.
Deep Tissue Stretch Therapy
Assisted stretching therapy with a chiropractor offers release of deep fascial restrictions, improves mobility and joint range, and helps reduce adhesions and dysfunction in the soft tissues surrounding the joint. Stretch therapy is eligible for direct billing as under chiropractic benefits when performed by a qualified provider.
Cupping Therapy
Chiropractor use specialty modalities such as cupping therapy for targeted release and management of myofascial restrictions and soft-tissue adhesions that limit range of motion. Instead of compression, cupping therapy uses gentle suction pressure and shear force to lift and encourage movement between layers of tissues, improving local circulation and lymph, prompting the body's natural repair mechanisms.
