• Deep Tissue Massage
  A randomized, controlled, and blind observer study evaluated whether cervical adjustment alone had any effect on cervicogenic headache. Of the 53 subjects studied, 28 received cervical manipulation twice a week for 3 weeks. 25 received low level laser and deep tissue massage. Results showed a 69% reduction in headache hours per day in the manipulation group with a 36% decrease in both use of analgesics and headache intensity. (JMPT, June 1997)

• Electrical Muscle Stimulation
  Muscle Stimulation - Electrical muscle stimulation is a non-invasive procedure that uses light electrical pulses that are transmitted to specific areas of the body, usually through electrodes placed on the skin. There are many different types of electrical stimulation. Some are more beneficial for pain relief or to reduce inflammation, some for muscle spasm, and some actually cause muscles to contract and can be used to reduce muscle atrophy. Some have combination effects. Some examples of muscle stimulation include interferential current, low-volt and high-volt direct current.

An overall healthcare program, including a nutritional component, can help maintain good health and minimize the risk of developing these conditions. A good nutrition program takes your specific diet and personal nutritional needs into account.
• Subluxation
  A 2002 case study of a patient with TMJ disorder and atlas subluxation concluded that the patients symptoms "improved and eventually resolved after 9 visits of chiropractic treatment.” (JMPT, Jan. 2002)
• Manipulation Therapy
  A Journal of Manipulative Physiologic Therapeutics article compared the effectiveness of spinal manipulation and the drug amytriptyline for chronic tension-type headache. The results showed spinal manipulation to be "effective in tension headache treatment" and after 4 week follow-up there was “sustained therapeutic benefit.” The patients taking amytriptyline reverted to baseline values at the 4 week follow-up. (JMPT, May 1996).
• Spinal Decompression
  Axial Traction - Axial traction uses longitudinal tensile force to stretch soft tissues and/or separate the joint surfaces. Specific traction therapies include spinal decompression therapy, flexion/distraction and mechanical or manual traction. Axial traction is utilized to remove compression or irritation of nerve roots, increase range of motion, decrease muscle spasm and relieve joint pain.
