What Kind of Chiropractic Techniques Does Dr. Katie Practice?
Chiropractic techniques may include manual, drop-table, or activator adjustments for the spine and extremities, along with joint mobilizations and soft tissue therapies. Each approach is modifiable to your comfort level.
Dr. Katie also incorporates exercise instruction to help address muscle imbalances and support tissue function. Chronic conditions often require time and consistency—initial treatments may be spaced closely together to help support changes in comfort and function, with a gradual shift to less frequent visits if appropriate with the goal of reducing the likelihood of recurring symptoms.
Joint Care
Chiropractic care is not limited to the spine. For those experiencing joint discomfort in the hands, arms, hips, knees, or feet, treatment may include targeted joint mobilization and adjustments to support joint motion and reduce mechanical strain.
Even in the absence of pain, chiropractic care may support optimal movement patterns and reduce the physical stress of daily activities like sitting, lifting, or repetitive motion.
What is an Adjustment?
An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement applied to a joint, either by hand or with an instrument like the Activator. It is often used to support joint mobility and reduce discomfort related to restricted motion. Techniques are adapted to your specific needs to ensure comfort and safety.
