Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors are trained to find areas of the spine that are subluxated. One of our Inver Grove Heights Chiropractors will explain what subluxations are and show you where you have them on your body. Chiropractic adjustments are then used to shift segments of the spine that aren’t moving.
Additionally, we offer an array of therapies to help with the soft tissues plus exercises and stretches.

The New Patient Journey
Patients’ treatment plans, which are usually 1-4 months in length, are highly individualized and take into account X-ray findings and history. If there are structural changes that need to be made your care plan may be a little bit longer. At the end of your plan, we will re-examine you for whatever objective measurements we had—motion X-rays, functional movement or your wellness score.
Most patients are doing well after they’ve completed their course of care. We then put them on a maintenance program with visits ranging from once a week to once every 12 weeks.
Our Techniques
Activator Methods®
This technique uses an instrument to provide low-force, but effective adjustments. It’s ideal for infants and the elderly.
ArthroStim®
Using a handheld instrument, this technique applies a series of “taps” to misaligned vertebral segments.
Diversified
We use this hands-on technique to adjust most patients.
Thompson Drop Table
The special table used with this technique reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust the spine.
Are Adjustments Safe for My Child?
Yes; very! Rest assured that we use gentle, low force techniques for children. There is no twisting of the head or low back. Often, kids will sleep through their adjustments—they’re that gentle.
