1) Applied Kinesiology (www. icak.com) A diagnostic tool that utilizes the neuromuscular system through manual muscle testing to access the patient's underlying problem and to assist us in accurately formulating an appropriate treatment plan. This technique is used in conjunction with other exams to evaluate the patients overall condition. 2) Neuroemotional Technique (www. netmindbody.com) A person's health is made up of three components: structural, biochemical and emotional well being. NET addresses the emotional component of health. Significant events in our lives have an impact on us both emotionally as well as physically. Negative emotions can sometimes take root in our bodies and manifest themselves in very real, physical problems such as spinal subluxations. 3) BioSet (Bioenergetic Sensitivity and Enzyme Therapy) (www. drellencutler.com) "Is a revolutionary process of healing which assists in building bodily strength and vitality.

The goal of this treatment is to restore balance to the nervous system. With this treatment, we utilize reflex points and muscle testing to locate the problem and then stimulate the area involved to repair its communication with the brain and thus allowing the body to heal. 5) SOT (sacro-occiptal technique) (www.sorsi.com) 6) Activator Technique (www.activator.com) The Activator method is the least physical form of adjusting. It is a low force adjusting technique that utilizes an adjusting instrument rather than the traditional hands-on technique. 7) Cox Flexion Distraction Technique This technique is extremely effective in treating chronic and acute lumbar pain. Cox uses a special traction table to decompress the intervertebral discs and joints. Patients who have been diagnosed with a slipped, bulging or herniated disc can benefit from this technique. 8) Diversified Adjustment Technique Diversified is the most common technique used by chiropractors. It is a manual adjustment technique used to correct misaligned or subluxated spinal segments of the neck and back. 9) Rehabilitation/Spinal Stabilization exercise technique These are exercises prescribed by the doctor to compliment the adjustment and to strengthen the muscles and help maintain proper spinal alignment. 10) Extremity Management and Rehabilitation Extremities can also become misaligned or unbalanced. Through muscle testing the doctors are able to uncover the source of the problem and adjust the segment accordingly. Extremities include the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, pelvis, knee, ankle and foot. CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on method for evaluating and correcting problems affecting the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system provides the environment in which your brain and spinal cord develop and function. These organs are the core of your being. Without them, senses, emotions and motor functions would be inoperable. Examination is done by testing for movements in various parts of the system. When testing is concluded and the restricting obstacle removed, the system is able to return to its natural state. Many conditions respond to this form of treatment. 11) ART (Active Release Technique) ART is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fascitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: They are often a result of overused muscles. Discover a new way to improve your life with Eyelights.
