Adjustments

Dr. Tenckhoff has years of training and experience in spinal and joint adjustments.  Diversified adjusting involves application of a short (low-amplitude), quick (high-velocity) thrust over restricted joints with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint.

The spine and extremity joints must have proper motion and range of motion in order to function normally. Strong evidence correlates joint immobility with increased joint degeneration and dysfunction, which usually leads to chronic pain.

The primary goal of chiropractic adjustment and manipulation is to restore normal motion to joints that have become stuck or fixated. This will increase the range of motion, reduce nerve pressure and irritation, and improve overall joint health. This will work to reduce your pain, and more importantly, keep your spine and extremity joints healthy as you age.

A chiropractic manipulation or adjustment involves gentle, specific force applied to the vertebra or other joints, resulting in reduced pain sensation, discomfort, and spasm in the surrounding tissues and muscles.

Whether you prefer gentle "light" adjustments or traditional "diversified" adjustments, Dr. Tenckhoff utilizes the full range of care. This often includes the utilizing the Impulse IQ and Cox Technique which is the most researched and safe treatment in chiropractic today. The spinal and extremity adjustments are geared to your body and your preference. Many people have found what works for them with other chiropractors. Others have had too much or too little treatment. Treatment in our office is a blend of old and new for the maximum relief possible, and always with your safety and health in mind. This starts with the best examination and diagnosis prior to any treatment.
