Our Chiropractic Methods and Techniques
The Vitality Center presents a range of diagnostic mechanisms and therapies. Dr. Pape provides nothing less than the best to help you achieve the whole-person wellness you deserve.
Activator Method
Activator methods involve manual manipulation of spinal adjustments with the help of an activator instrument. There are two ways to use the device: high speed or controlled force.
Graston Technique
The graston technique requires six specialized handheld steel instruments. They are used to break up scar tissue or locate soft-tissue injuries.
Webster Technique
The webster technique gently adjusts the spine to align the pelvis and release soft tissue pressure. It is often used for pregnant women whose bodies are constantly changing.
Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation (FAKTR) Technique
This technique involves using small massage instruments to break up knotted soft tissues and scar tissue and increase blood flow.
Trigger Point Technique
Our trigger point technique relies on sustained ischemic compression by hand to a trigger point of pain. It can stop muscle spasms and other soft tissue problems.
Chiropractic Biophysics
Chiropractic biophysics involves extension-compression traction and an extension device that stretches and optimizes posture and spine curvature. In addition, it relieves muscle tension and pain.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
The cox flexion-distraction technique allows the spine to decompress by applying gentle traction to the lower spine, while the patient rests horizontally on a specially designed table. It is safe, pleasant, and helpful in relieving pain.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology is a system of treatments and therapies that manually test muscles and body function. It pulls all the dynamics together to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Chiropractic Neurology
Chiropractic neurology is a method of diagnosing and treating chiropractic issues linked to the central nervous system. It focuses on how the brain plays a role in chiropractic problems, and how chiropractic care, exercise, and diet can help end the pain.
