The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action) and literally means "done by hand." Instead of prescribing drugs or performing surgeries, chiropractors use manual treatments of the spine and joints, along with therapies and lifestyle changes to allow the body's natural state of health to fully express itself. Here are some of the manipulation techniques you may come across at a chiropractic office. 

  • Manual Technique
    Category: Therapies & Techniques, Techniques

    Manual therapy, also known as manipulative therapy, is a physical treatment primarily used by chiropractors to treat musculoskeletal pain and debility. How Does Manual Therapy Work? This form of physical therapy takes a hands-on approach rather than using devices or machines. When a chiropractor uses

  • Drop-Table Technique
    Category: Therapies & Techniques, Techniques

    Forceful spinal manipulation is not always necessary to treat conditions of the lower back, mid-back and neck. Gentle chiropractic treatment, such as drop table techniques, involves less powerful spinal maneuvering and slower, low-velocity movements that allow the affected joint to stay within its passive

  • Active Release Techniques
    Category: Therapies & Techniques, Techniques

Scar tissue restricts the tissues from moving freely because they bind them and tie them

Testimonial

Review By Our Satisfied Patient

  • "The staff is awesome and exceptionally friendly, the insurance process is clearly explained, and the facility is very nice.
    The appointments themselves are also top notch. Dr Godfrey addressed all of my concerns, including taking an X-ray to verify the issue, explaining the treatment and the rationale behind it, and the steps needed going forward. The last part is what I really respected- many physicians may extend treatment for the sake of more money, but Dr Godfrey was able to give me instant relief and required minimal follow ups which, to me, is indicative of an honest and professional practitioner. Overall I would highly reccomend Godfrey's staff, treatment, and service."

  • "During and after my pregnancy, I've seen Bruce and Kate. I always feel like a new person after each visit. My daughter, age 2 has also been a client since she was an infant. I always recommend Godfrey chiropractic."
