Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Arthrostim Instrument Adjusting

The Arthrostism Instrument delivers input into the nervous system by generating 12-14 incremental thrusts per second. By dividing the energy of a single thrust into rapid successive inputs, the Arthrostim Instrument modulates the peak force. What this means for you is that I am able to deliver an extremely comfortable, highly precise and effective adjustment to the area. The instrument is able to deliver more rapid pulses than human hands are able to directs the input exactly where is needs to go for the best results.

The secret to the instrument's effectiveness comes from its controlled repetitive input. This input produces a cumulative "snowballing" type effect on neural receptors. This permits the Arthrostim Instrument to create extensive neurologic feedback to the brain, using greatly reduced amounts of force. By utilizing controlled, incremental thrusts, the Arthrostism Instrument is also able to stimulate specific neural receptors (mechanoreceptors and proprioreceptors) without activating undesirable pain receptors. The Arthrostim permits Dr. Thomas to maintain the effectiveness of your adjustment while reducing the amount of force that is applied to your body.

Vibracussor Percussion Therapy

Vibracussor therapy is an exciting new treatment approach for muscle and ligament problems and related myofascial conditions. Used by many professional sports teams, Vibracussor effectively enhances rehabilitation and helps reduce pain and discomfort among athletes.

The Vibracussor delivers waves of percussive impulses deep into the tissues of the body. These percussive waves promote an increase in circulation and lymphatic flow and a decrease in muscle spasm. Vibracussor therapy is effective for relaxing muscles. It can be used to warm up muscles and setting proper tonus prior to athletic events. It can be used following an event or exercise to flush muscles and minimize soreness.

The Vibracussor is also highly effective in treating fascial restricting of the shoulder, hip, and knee joints. It often helps frozen shoulders become more mobile in just a few visits. It is also helpful with scars and adhesions after surgery.
