Adjusting Techniques Used in Southern Pines NC

• Manual Flexion-Distraction consists of using a certain adjusting table that tractions the spine gently to positively affect the spinal joint, disc, and soft tissue.
• Diversified is a comprehensive technique that encompasses a combination of many other techniques to suit each person's individual needs for care.
• Full spine adjusting focuses on any segment of the spine from the skull to the sacrum to create balance and improve physiologic function.
• Drop Technique is a special table that has pieces of the table that move slightly up and down to create a type of "force multiplier", allowing the doctor to move certain segments of the body into positions with less overall force. This is very comfortable for the patient and allows the doctor to adjust even the most sensitive conditions and diagnoses of the spine when appropriate.
• Adjusting instruments such as an activator, Arthrostim/Vibracussor. These devices are used in place of, or in conjunction with a manual or hands-on adjustment technique. Instruments may be used on an infant, elderly or a very sensitive patient and everyone in between.
• Various software tissue release techniques to improve range of motion, improve function, decrease pain, and increase healing effects.
• Electric Muscle Stimulation to reduce pain, spasms, and improve healing outcomes. We may use cryotherapy with this therapy as well.
• Dry Needling is used on specific ailments to reduce muscle spasms, increase blood flow, reduce pain, and increase range of motion.
• Nutritional counselling is also an option that Dr. Kuhns may advise in your specific case. Nutrition is incredibly important in all aspects of health, whether you are dealing with an injury, disease, or wellness. To neglect your nutritional and dietary plan is to gamble with your health. Don't gamble with your health! If you don't take it seriously, who will?
