• Toggle Recoil Technique - a specific and gentle chiropractic technique used to correct the positioning of the upper cervical vertebra, Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2),  without the use of any twisting, bending, or cracking of the neck. The technique uses a side-lying position, to avoid rotation of the neck and increase comfort. A dropping headpiece is used to dampen the spinal correction and create a recoiling or “spring-like” vibration. This allows the doctor to use minimal force while implementing maximal precision and specificity. Our office is the only Nassau County chiropractic clinic with a Toggle Recoil specialist and one of the select few with a trained upper cervical chiropractor. This technique has helped helped people with headaches, migraines, high blood pressure, vertigo, sleeping issues, hormone imbalances, loss of balance, dizziness, thyroid dysfunction, and respiratory problems.

 

• 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) – 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.

• The Diversified Technique - The Diversified Technique has 3 main purposes, and they are 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.

 

• Thompson Drop-Table Technique - The Thompson Drop-Table Technique uses a precision adjusting table along with a weighing mechanism which gives sufficient tension to keep the patient in the “up” position before the thrust or pressure is applied. This technique comprises of a special table with several segments in it known as drop pieces. These table segments can be lifted up a fraction of an inch, so that upon delivering the thrust, the table drops. This table is known as “Segmental Drop Table,” and it helps in enhancing the motion of the area or segment which is to be adjusted, usually the mid-back, low back and pelvic area. These drop pieces aid in the thrust thus minimizing the force/pressure required for the adjustment. This is one of the benefits of this technique.
