·
Activator
Techniques® adjusting:
The Activator Method of adjusting utilizes a patented,
scientifically engineered instrument to deliver a high speed, low-force thrust
to correct joint and nerve dysfunction. Because the adjustment is so quick and
accurate, the bodies’ reflexes do not have time to resist, resulting in little
or no strain to the patient. There is no bending, twisting or “cracking” involved.
The advantages of this method of treatment are enormous. Severe conditions such
as herniated discs, sciatica and patients in acute pain can be treated safely
and comfortably. Young children, the elderly and pregnant women respond
extremely well to this technique. Using specific procedures to analyze joint
and nerve dysfunction, we can determine what, where and when not to adjust. The
accuracy of the instrument allows the doctor to zero in on the exact problem
area without disturbing other structures.
Dr.
Petry uses activator adjusting exclusively, attends conferences regularly and
has passed rigorous Advanced Proficiency Examinations.

Therapy
Options:
Therapies are used to enhance the
adjustment and speed recovery. Not every patient receives therapy. For those
who require it, we utilize galvanic stimulation which reduces spasm, increases
circulation and speeds the recovery of damaged muscles and nerves.
Intersegmental Traction is used to increase spinal mobility, reduce scar tissue
and rehabilitate spinal discs. Acupuncture is used to control pain and
rehabilitate damaged nerves. The need and type of therapy is determined at each
visit.
Our
straight forward approach to caring for you as an individual means that we
treat your body according to what it needs each visit, rather than using some
sort of “canned” procedures or routines.
Specialty Referrals
Many patients may require additional testing or referrals. We work
closely with the regions top specialists in imaging, orthopedics,
neurology and others to insure a patients is receiving appropriate care.
