Spinal Adjustment
Acton Chiropractic uses both traditional adjusting techniques as well as state-of-the-art instruments that involve literally no “twisting” or “popping” of the spine. 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 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 prescribe d (similarly to drug prescriptions). Studies show that individuals who follow their exercise instructions heal faster than those who do not.

X-ray Studies
Based on the nature of your condition as well as a number of other factors, X-ray studies of your spine or injured body part may be indicated. At Acton Chiropractic, we offer on-site X-rays, making this your one-stop visit.

Cold-Laser Therapy
In Chiropractic cold-laser therapy, the patient uses this FDA-approved light (photon energy) with the unique property of being able to penetrate up to two inches below the skin’s surface causing an increase in cellular metabolism with no tissue damage whatsoever. The therapy is painless and totally non-invasive.

Custom-Made Foot Orthotics
Acton Chiropractic uses a state-of-the-art, digital foot scan to create custom-made foot orthotics from TOG, The Orthotic Group. The scan is performed in our office, both in a standing-still position as well as while walking. This gives us a crystal-clear picture of any misalignments or dysfunctions in the feet.

• A custom foot orthotic is a specialty device customized for each individual. An orthotic fits comfortably inside the shoe and redistributes your body weight through correct areas of the foot.

• Are Orthotics for me? Foot problems can result in problems in other areas, just like the foundation shifting on your house.

• If you suffer from any of these, you may be able to benefit from custom foot orthotics...
