Jefferson Chiropractic Services
We Provide The Following Chiropractic Treatments:
Activator Method
Activator technique utilizes a small spring-loaded adjusting instrument to deliver a focused corrective impulse into the dysfunctional spinal segment. This technique is most commonly used in patients who prefer a low-force correction without the traditional hands-on thrust.
The hand-held Activator instrument is specifically designed to deliver a controlled, light and fast thrust without undue strain to the patient. The Activator instrument produces a very effective thrust that is felt as a very gentle sensation only.
Because of the accuracy and controlled light force, Activator Methods adjustments are suitable and comfortable for all types of patients, ranging from pregnant women, babies and children, to athletes and seniors.

Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage is an age-old remedy and health practice. The healing systems of many cultures, including our own, use hands-on therapy to soothe aches and pains and facilitate the body's own healing powers. From infancy to seniors, massage has been found to enhance general health and well-being.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are specific spots in muscles and tendons which cause pain, and which may radiate pain to a larger area. Trigger points may be caused by sudden trauma, by repeated use of a particular muscle, or may develop over time from chronic muscular tension in an area. A direct pressure is applied to the trigger point to deactivate it, thus relieving the pain it causes.
Traction/Expanding Ellipsoidal Decompression
This action seperates the joints at the anterior and posterior aspect of the vertebral bodies and discs in a ratio coinciding with their natural wedged spacing. Does not remove the normal curved shape from the spine as in linear traction and is therefore not harmful to the natural spinal curves.
Continuous Passive Motion
Continuous Passive Motion kneads the muscles back and forth - loosening them and restoring flexibility to the muscles. It also releases the tension by gently massaging your back which opens up the spaces between the vertebrae to relieve nerve impingement so your muscles aren't spasmed anymore and your vertebrae are no longer spueezing together and pinching nerves.
Ultrasound
High frequency sound waves that are transferred to a specific body area. The sound waves travel deep into tissues and create gentle heat. The heat induces vasodilation: drawing blood into the target tissues. The generated deep heat is found to help relieve pain and reduce muscle spasms.
***Every person that we work with is different, they have their own unique problems and circumstances. Depending upon your pain issues, we have the methods and techniques to allow your body to resolve your pain naturally.
