Chiropractic Care
Our Techniques
At Casteel Chiropractic of State College, 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 clinical judgment and years of experience.
Learn more about the primary adjusting techniques we use below.
AK Applied Kinesiology
Testing the strength of specific muscles of your body helps us find structural, chemical and mental problems and monitor your results.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
We use a special table so we can traction your spine, opening up the spacing between spinal vertebrae and relieving pressure to spinal.
Diversified
After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints.
Extremities
While many health problems can be traced to the spine, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees other joints of the body can be helped.
Gonstead
This full spine approach relies on X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for a thorough evaluation and documented results.
Motion Palpation
As you turn and bend we’ll apply a light pressure to the joint being tested with our fingertips to feel how well things are moving.
Myofascial Release
We’ll find tender areas where muscles and connective tissue are producing pain and restricted movement and gently release it.
Palmer Package
We’re experts on a wide range of effective adjusting approaches taught at the Palmer College of Chiropractic, the birthplace of chiropractic.
Thompson
Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine.
Toggle Recoil
While lying on your side, we’ll use our hands to deliver a quick contact to the upper bones of your spine. Your body does the rest.
Trigger Point
By applying direct pressure or stretching of the affected muscle, we can reduce muscle spasms and flush out pooled blood and accumulated toxins.
