The main techniques include:

Diversified: the classic chiropractic technique, taught in all chiropractic colleges, characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust used to restore proper movement and alignment to joints

​Gonstead: uses “short lever” adjustments to preserve the intervertebral disc, and the “Foundation Principle” to explain how a fixation in one area of the spine creates compensatory biomechanical changes in another

Thompson: minimizes the energy needed to adjust the spine and increases patient comfort by the use of a “Segmental Drop Table”, and “Leg Length Analysis” to help determine areas of fixation

Toggle Recoil: lying on your side, a high-speed, low-force thrust is delivered to the upper neck to allow the body to “reset” the spinal joints

Extremity: special adjustments to realign and restore proper function of shoulders, ribs, elbows, wrists, hands, knees, ankles and feet – treating and preventing issues such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Frozen Shoulder and Plantar Fasciitis

The most common muscle imbalance we see today is called upper crossed syndrome, or “Text Neck “. In our world of slouching at computers and hunching over smartphones, correct posture is becoming more and more crucial. The typical smartphone user spends a total of 2-4 hours a day looking down at their phone. This adds up to 700-1,400 hours per year of unnecessary stress to their cervical spine. As this stress accumulates, it causes excessive wear and tear to your neck, upper back and shoulders. Left untreated this poor posture can lead to degeneration and arthritis, spinal misalignment, disc herniation, nerve damage and loss of lung volume capacity.

The best way to prevent this damage is to sit up straight with your shoulders back at all times. When looking at a computer or phone, hold your phone out in front of you, keep your chin parallel with the floor, and look down only with your eyes. Be sure to keep your elbows at your sides, preventing stress to the shoulders. Doing postural stretches can also help to combat hunching.

After years of research, scientists have finally discovered how to turn on the Nrf2 pathway. Comprised of natural plant ingredients, this activator has been proven to reduce oxidative stress by at least 40% in just 30 days, slowing the cell aging process back to the level of a 20-year-old.

People have been consuming antioxidants for years, thinking this will combat the free radicals that cause oxidative stress. But ingested antioxidants, like supplements or berries, only neutralize free radicals on a 1:1 ratio (one antioxidant to one free radical). This product is not an antioxidant. It tells your body to make your own antioxidants, which is much more effective at protecting the body, at a ratio of 1:1,000,000 every second. And since we create trillions of free radicals every day, combating one million of them per second is significantly more effective than 1:1, and can therefore defeat and prevent many diseases.
