Our Chiropractic 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 patient needs and comfort level, our sound clinical examination findings, and Dr. Ptak’s years of experience.
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Pettibon
Our postural regenerative programs are very unique from all other rehabilitative programs. This program can achieve very rapid changes, not only in changing your posture, but ultimately in changing your overall health. Please visit www.pettibonsystem.com for more information.

Other Techniques
Dr. Ptak is also well trained in gentle techniques for those patients who don’t want any rotation or audibles (cracking noises) such as Grostic and Certified Upper Cervical.
If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Ptak know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
