Our Techniques

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 judgment and years of experience.
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Pettibon
We use the Pettibon System because it offers research-tested adjustment procedures, involves patients in home care procedures for faster recovery and relies on X-rays for diagnosis and documenting progress.
After you perform warm up exercises, you’ll be examined to see how your spine moves. If a lack of mobility is detected, an adjustment will be given. Yet it won’t be the compressive thrusts typically associated with traditional chiropractic. Instead, we’ll gently stretch your spinal column in a way more as you would when turning or bending. We get excellent results relieving nerve compression, pain and associated neurological dysfunction.

Many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth. Nervous System disturbances can lead to all sorts of health problems... read more»
Webster
The late Larry Webster, D.C., developed a chiropractic technique that releases stress on the pregnant woman's pelvis, relaxing the uterus and surrounding ligaments and permitting the baby to turn naturally. Reducing the chance of a more difficult breech birth or risky Cesarean intervention... read more»
Activator Methods®
This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust... read more»
Motion Palpation
Using Motion (movement) Palpation (feeling with the hands and fingers), we examine each joint to analyze the degree to which it may lack proper motion. By having you turn and bend, moving joints through their range of motion and feeling how they respond, we can isolate dysfunctional joints.
Diversified
After identifying which spinal bones have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is administered to free up “stuck” joints... read more»

Logan Basic
Based upon the belief that many spinal problems are compensation reactions, we use a light, sustained force exerted against a specific contact point on the sacrum at the base of the spine. By using the muscles surrounding the sacrum as a lever system, improved function can be observed up and down the spine. Patients appreciate this approach because it is one of the lowest-force methods used in chiropractic.
If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Marcus Deaver know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
