Chiropractic Care at Capps Chiropractic Clinic

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 clinical judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

  • Activator Methods® – This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust.
  • Acupressure – The perfect adjunct to your chiropractic care, we use acupuncture for meridian balance, symptom relief and many organic health complaints.
  • Applied Kinesiology – Testing the strength of specific muscles of your body helps us find structural, chemical and mental problems and monitor your results.
  • Diversified – After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints.
  • Electrical Muscle Stimulation – We use this special type of low level electrical current to stimulate supporting muscles of your spine, reducing inflammation and spasm.
  • Extremities – While many health problems can be traced to the spine, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees other joints of the body can be helped.
  • Foot Levelers – Problems in your feet can create compensatory problems in back and neck. These custom orthotics can make a dramatic difference.
  • Intersegmental Traction – We gently add motion to each vertebral joint to increase circulation, reduce scar tissue and enhance the effectiveness of your adjustments.
  • Motion Palpation – As you turn and bend we’ll apply a light pressure to the joint being tested with our fingertips to feel how well things are moving.
  • Myofascial Release – We’ll find tender areas where muscles and connective tissue are producing pain and restricted movement and gently release it.
  • SOT – Sacro Occipital Technique helps normalize the relationship between the pelvis and the head, using gravity to make the necessary correction.
  • Trigger Point – By applying direct pressure or stretching of the affected muscle, we can reduce muscle spasms and flush out pooled blood and accumulated toxins.
  • Ultrasound – This high-tech deep tissue “micro-massage” helps reduce swelling, increase blood flow, decrease pain, reduce joint stiffness and stimulate cell-repair.
