Our Techniques

Think of an adjustment as "tuning" a piano, adjusting each string so it produces the perfect tone. We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

There are many ways to adjust the spine, plus other procedures designed to aid the healing process.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Dr. Tim Asks some important questions of interest to Ann Arbor residents - Chiropractor Ann Arbor Dr. Tim Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Ann Arbor patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
