Our Treatments
The Diversified Technique
The diversified technique has three main purposes: to restore spinal alignment, repair joint disfunction and ensure proper movement and mobility. Using hands-on thrusts with extreme precision, practitioners can restore spinal alignment and increase a patient’s range of motion which may be affected by misaligned joints or bones. This technique is widely used, with 96% of all chiropractors using the Diversified Technique on approximately 70% of their patients.
Webster Technique
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.
Sacro Occipital Technique
Sacro Occipital Technique (also referred to as SOT) 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.

"I have been going to Dr. Evelyn at Phoenix Chiropractic for about 12 years now and even though I live in Manhattan, I make the trip to Malverne to see her for my care. I trust her and most importantly she listens to my concerns and goes the extra step during my adjustments to make sure I feel 100%. If you are in need of chiropractic care, Dr. Evelyn is the best."
