I use a “multidimensional” treatment model.   That means that I'm always looking at your body’s systems from several points of view at the same time.  

Mobilization and manipulation of the spinal joints (also known as “spinal adjustments”) are methods that restore the normal joint play between the segments of your spine.  I use these approaches in some cases.  That's basic to chiropractic.

But unlike some other chiropractors, spinal adjustments are not always the central part of the treatment.  Another important dimension of physical health is the integrity of the connective tissues and muscles.  

I address these important body tissues with NeuroTactile (tm) Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Therapy, and other methods.

A third dimension is the individual's posture and use of the body in action.  Most patients benefit from therapeutic movement and alignment methods, particularly so that they can maintain good spinal health over the long run.
