Gardens of Health Chiropractic techniques include:

• Diversified - characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust
• Gonstead - specific, precise and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas. Ensures a bio-mechanically correct position and precise thrust to provide the most accurate and painless adjustment possible.
• Thompson - involves analyzing the length of the legs. This technique uses a ‘drop table’ for adjustment, where a gentle thrust is applied to the joints, which in turn, sets the drop piece into motion and targets the specific joint or tissue. After completing a leg check analysis, your chiropractor will determine the type of misalignment – cervical, pelvic, etc,- and then adjusts the legs using a combination of multiple thrusts on various joints.
• Activator Methods - involves analyzing the length of the legs, and determining whether a pelvic deficiency is present. Since each person stands and holds their hips in a different way the result can be excessive pressure on one side; over time a difference in leg length may contribute to pain in the hips and leg joints.
• Flexion-Distraction - a safe alternative to back surgery, and helps restore the range of motion in joints and muscles after bringing the spine into alignment. Treatment is performed on a special table that flexes and bends various muscles and joints. It is commonly used to restore herniated discs, reduce headaches, and improve posture.
• Toggle - The Toggle Recoil Technique is a Palmer chiropractic treatment where the chiropractor can alleviate pain and enhance the health of the chiropractic patient. It is particularly useful for back pain, upper cervical pain, and neck pain.
