Spinal Adjustment
Acton Chiropractic uses both traditional adjusting techniques as well as state-of-the-art instruments like the  Arthrostim® that literally allows no “twisting” or “popping” of the spine. The Arthrostim® delivers 17 impulses/second and is capable of unlocking joints that have become stuck without any pain. These techniques are tried and true, totally safe, and very effective.

Traction-Massage
In Chiropractic traction-massage, the patient lies face up with a pillow under the knees. A system of rollers then moves up and down the spine, gently stretching and massaging the muscles of the back. Traction-massage is performed along with an adjustment to relax the spine, making the adjustment easier to perform, more comfortable, and more beneficial.

Therapeutic Exercise
30-40% of spinal correction is your responsiblity to change the muscles and ligaments that support the spine.  We commonly prescribe specific strengthening exercises for our patients with back, neck, and extremity problems. These exercises can decrease pain, prevent muscle deterioration, promote joint health, increase strength, stability, and range of motion, and protect against new or recurring injuries. We will show you exactly how to do the exercises and supervise you until you are comfortable doing them on your own. It's important to keep up with your exercises as prescribed (similarly to drug prescriptions). Studies show that individuals who follow their exercise instructions heal faster and get more correction than those who do not.

DIGITAL X-ray Studies
Based on the nature of your condition as well as a number of other factors, digital X-ray studies of your spine or injured body part may be indicated. Not only do the x-rays rule out pathological changes, the doctors analyze them to determine which bones are out of place, the degree they are out of place and how long it has been out of place.  At Acton Chiropractic, we offer on-site digital X-rays, making this your one-stop visit.

VibraCussor® Therapy
VibraCussor® patented technology delivers waves of percussive impulses deep into the tissues of the body.  These percussion waves promote an increase in circulation and lymphatic flow and a decrease in muscle spasm.  Additionally, these waves heighten neurological awareness of specific areas of the body and facilitate energetic normalization.  The repetitive pumping action of the VibraCussor® is ideal for releasing joints.  The power of multiple percussive waves accumulates to loosen up 'stuck' areas without using heavy thrusting forces.  It is also very helpful with scars and adhesions associated with surgery.
