Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

Tuning your spine!

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Diversified

After identifying which spinal bones have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is administered to free up “stuck” joints... read more»

Gonstead

Named for its developer, we conduct a thorough evaluation using full spine X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for accurate adjustments... read more»

Cox 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… read more»

Torque Release

With a gentle touch and a light thrusting by hand or an instrument called an Integrator, the connection between brain and body is enhanced… read more»

Upper Cervical

Resting comfortably on your side, we use our hands to deliver an ultra-quick thrust to the upper bones of your spine. Just as quickly we remove our hands. This energy allows the head and spinal structures to “reset” themselves. The object is to allow the wisdom of your body to reposition spinal segments with the least amount of force.

Pettibon

We use the Pettibon System because it offers research-tested adjustment procedures, involves patients in home care procedures for faster recovery and relies on X-rays for diagnosis and documenting progress.

After you perform warm up exercises, you’ll be examined to see how your spine moves. If a lack of mobility is detected, an adjustment will be given. Yet it won’t be the compressive thrusts typically associated with traditional chiropractic. Instead, we’ll gently stretch your spinal column in a way more as you would when turning or bending. We get excellent results relieving nerve compression, pain and associated neurological dysfunction.

Cold Laser Therapy

Low level laser for pain management.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let us know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.

Dr. Bart Asks some important questions of interest to Stratham residents - Chiropractor Stratham Dr. Bart Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
