Pettibon Technique

Pettibon Technique is a cutting edge Chiropractic spinal correction and rehabilitation method that is unique due to the fact that the biomechanical changes are empirically measureable and clearly visualized by both the doctor and patient on pre- and post x-rays. The theory is that performing individual-specific spinal adjustments in conjunction with the proper neuromuscular rehabilitation solidifies long term and dramatic structural changes. The initial exam consists of a thorough physical, biomechanical and neurological assessment. Weight-bearing X-rays are taken to provide a true measurement of the body's biomechanics under load-bearing stress.

A treatment plan is then devised that includes in-office spinal adjustments combined with corrective exercises consisting of specialized body weighting systems, core strengthening, traction and vibration therapy. In addition, an at-home spinal exercise routine is designed to solidify the in-office treatment. The overall methodology forms the foundation of the Pettibon Technique which focuses on yielding long-term optimal results. By focusing on the root cause of structural deficiencies, the Pettibon Technique can relieve pain permanently while delivering the long-term positive results that patients desire and deserve.
