Chiropractic Adjustments: The Most Essential Part of Your Care
Spinal joints that aren't moving right can choke or irritate nearby nerves. These are called "subluxations" or "misalignments". Chiropractic adjustments add motion to these stuck joints, reducing nervous system disruption. Then, health can return. Patients often report a pleasant sense of release directly following their adjustments.

When the neurological circuits have integrity the body works as it was designed.	When spinal vertebrae are out of alignment, the body doesn't work the way it should, causing ill-health.

The Doctor's Techniques
Dr. Mancini uses a number of highly effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach he decides to use is based on his judgment and experience. The primary adjusting techniques he uses include:

Activator
This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a hand-held adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust.

Thompson
Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine. Commonly known as a "drop" adjustment.

Flexion-Distraction
This non-force approach uses a special table so we can traction your spine, relieving pressure to compressed spinal discs and facet joints.

Other Modalities
Along with the spinal adjustment, Dr. Mancini also incorporates the newest technology to help speed up the healing process and retrain your spine.

Heat Therapy
At the beginning of each treatment session, moist heat therapy is applied to the spine and surrounding musculature to help aid in reducing stress and tension, making the adjustment that much more comfortable.

Cold Laser Therapy
Low level laser therapy can penetrate into the musculature or joint space to reduce pain, inflammation and break up scar tissue. It can be used for many other issues as well, such as sports injuries, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, arthritis, etc. The treatment is pain free.

Rehab and Exercise
Every one is unique and adjustments may not be the only answer. That's why Dr. Mancini creates specific exercise routines to re-educate the muscles of the spine. Whether it be from an automobile accident, a fracture or a fall, the muscles need to be restrengthened to help stabilize the progress and get stronger for future activities.
