Chiropractic is a regulated health profession that focuses on the nerves, muscles, and skeleton. At the Healing Arts Clinic, Dr. Pinkney will begin by taking a complete histroy followed by a physical examination. When a diagnosis has been made, a treatment plan will be recommended including an estimated number of treatments, duration, and expectations from the patient. The chiropractic treatment will involve a hands-on approach directed to the muscles and joints of the body in accordance with findings from the physical exam.
Activator Method® is a very popular low-force chiropractic technique. It includes a system for both finding and correcting subtle joint dysfunctions. We begin by analyzing how well your spine and other joints move using a time-tested leg length analysis. Next, correction is provided using the Activator Adjusting Instrument®. This is a spring-loaded tool that provides a consistent, high speed, low force thrust. Because of its speed, patients find it easy to relax, and enjoy the treatment without tensing. This allows for a gentle and effective treatment experience.
