Specific Chiropractic Adjustments

Evergreen Chiropractic and Wellness, located in Greenville, SC 29607, is a modern facility where we offer specific scientific chiropractic adjustments.  Our goal with this care is to reduce and remove interference from your nervous system, known as subluxations. 

Your body has an “innate” ability to be healthy, so long as the controlling mechanism, the nervous system, is free from interference.  Subluxations are a major cause of interference to the function of your nervous system.  With time and repetition, our goal is to correct subluxations and allow your body to return to good health naturally, and without drugs.

 

Techniques Used

 

Webster's Technique for Pregnancy

Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth. More women and birth providers are discovering the many benefits associated with chiropractic care in pregnancy and recognize this area of expertise through Webster Certification.

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.

Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia. http://www.icpa4kids.org

 

Thompson Technique

This is a specific chiropractic method and is a variation of the Diversified technique that uses a special table with several segments called drop pieces. These segments can be cocked up a fraction of an inch, so when the thrust is delivered, the table will drop this fraction of an inch. The object of the drop is to distract (open) the joint during the adjustment. The drop pieces assists the thrust, while minimizing the force required for the adjustment. Cavitation of the joint may or may not occur.

 

Diversified Technique

This is a widely used type of chiropractic manipulation/ adjustment that includes most of the procedures taught at chiropractic schools. This technique is the most commonly used of all chiropractic techniques and is the one probably most familiar to patients. The Diversified manipulation/adjustment entails a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust that usually results in a cavitation of a joint (quick, shallow thrusts that cause the popping noise often associated with a chiropractic manipulation/adjustment).

 

Activator/instrument adjusting technique

This is a hand-held, spring-loaded instrument-based manipulation/adjustment protocol. Instead of the manipulating/adjusting forces being delivered by hand, force is generated with the small appliance that delivers a lighter, but quicker, thrust than can be delivered by hand. Activator can be used as a primary treatment protocol for all patients or a selective method for patients who may not desire manual manipulation/adjustment or where manual manipulation/adjustment may be contraindicated.

 

Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)

This is a specific chiropractic technique that uses triangular-shaped blocks usually placed under the pelvis of the prone patient to treat problems identified in the low back. Low force, slow pressure types of manipulations/adjustments may be used to address joint problems identified in the skull. SOT may be used as an exclusive treatment technique or as an adjunct method of patient management.

 

Extremity Adjustments

​​​​​​​This is the application of chiropractic manipulation/adjustment to joints other than those of the spine, i.e., shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand/finger, hip, knee, ankle/foot/toe. Examples of conditions treated by extremity manipulation/ adjustment: carpal tunnel syndrome, gait, or posture-related problems.

 

Pediatric Adjustments 

This is an adjustment method that is catered to the developing spine. Adjustments are safe, gentle, and effective. Children are adjusted for many reasons, some include for injuries from birth, falling, or accidents; aid in facilitating normal, neurological development as their spines mature; many developmental challenges such as breastfeeding challenges, chronic misalignments which cause complaints such as ear pain, sinus problems, and  aiding to helping childhood milestones. http://www.icpa4kids.org

Does the above describe your situation? Then you’ve come to the right place

  • If you are a Nutrition Response Testing case and you follow our recommendations to the letter, then there is hope that you will receive the help you need to restore your health.

What is Nutrition Response Testing®

 

Nutrition Response Testing is a safe, natural and non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of ill health. When these causes are found and corrected through natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself and maintain more optimum health.

Nutrition Response Testing is very precise and scientific. However, if we were to analyze you using Nutrition Response Testing before it was explained to you, you might find it strange, or simply not believable – only because it is probably very different from anything you have used or experienced.

What Makes this Approach Unique?

In Nutrition Response Testing we do not diagnose or treat disease as in medical practices.  We analyze, assess your body’s current health status, and design a personalized health improvement program.

Simply put, first we do an analysis, and then we design a nutritional program to help you handle what was found in our analysis of your body and condition.

 

How Does it Work?

The analysis is done by testing the body’s neurological reflexes.

The reflexes are the body’s way of telling us what and how your nervous system is doing—as it is the nervous system’s responsibility to regulate the body’s functions for each and every organ. The testing includes organs, glands, joints, muscles, etc.

Instead of connecting electrodes to the areas being tested, the practitioner does the analysis by contacting your extended arm with one hand and contacts the specific reflex area with the other hand. If the tested reflex is stressed, your nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm which will weaken and cause it to drop. This drop signifies underlying stress or dysfunction which can be affecting your health.

Once the underlying stress is corrected, this weak muscle response will no longer occur.

Following your consultation you will be given the results in a way that you can understand, with a specific nutritional program to follow.

Depending on your individual situation, we might also require that you make some specific changes in your diet & eating habits, and in your routines, in order to bring about the best possible results.

With our guidance, we feel that – if you are a Nutrition Response Testing case – your chances of recovery have never been higher!
