OUR UNIQUE SPINAL / JOINT THEREAPY

Dr. Kathryn (chiro) is known for her unique approach to spinal care which involves using a variety of lower force techniques to provide more comfortable care. This is combined with extensive soft tissue therapy to provide a holistic approach. Her approach is to be adaptable, to find and tailor the right treatment style for each individual patient. Her patients are mainly referral based due to the unique nature of her treatment that differs from the traditional Chiropractic approach.

The following techniques may be used:

Neuromechanical Technique: Neuromechanical Technique uses an Impulse IQ Instrument that provides multiple fast thrusts to a dysfunctional joint at the ideal frequency to increase joint range. This is a great alternative for joint manipulation for those who don’t like the “cracking” effect from manual manipulation. This technique may be adjusted to suit patients of different ages.

Flexion Distraction technique: A gentle form of managing lumbar spine pain, particularly Disc bulges. Our unique table flexes gently moving the joints to provide gentle traction. This is a favourite of most patients.

Activator Technique: Like Neuromechanical, the Activator Technique using a small hand- held instrument to provide low force shallow thrust to any joint in the body.

Drop piece: This technique involves parts of the table to drop allowing movement in restricted spinal segments without twisting the spine.

Diversified Technique: When appropriate this technique may be utilized. It involves manual movement to restore movement to a fixated vertebral complex.
