Chiropractic Treatments & Services – Livonia Michigan Chiropractor, Dr. Travis Dockery

Diversified Technique

Diversified technique is a classic chiropractic technique that focuses on correcting subluxations (misalignments in the body) using various methods, often including repeated manual thrusts. This technique is very hands-on, firm, and deliberate; therefore, expect to hear popping sounds as alignments are made.

COX Flexion/Distraction Technique

Our adjusting table allows automated flexion distraction. This low-impact adjustment keeps the upper spine stationary while the lower spine bends. This allows for distraction and the opening up of the spinal joints. This technique is especially effective for elderly patients and patients with acute disc injuries who cannot tolerate much pressure.

Hi-Lo Table

Hi-Lo Table

We understand that not all patients can quickly get on and off of the table. Our Hi-Lo table has a platform that patients can stand on, slowly lowering them into a facedown position. After the adjustment, the table will also rise back to a standing position to bring patients back to their feet. This table is ideal for elderly patients and patients with severe back pain who would otherwise have difficulty getting on and off a table.

Thompson Technique

The Thompson technique utilizes your legs to adjust, especially to the patient’s lower back, spine, and pelvis. Chiropractors using the Thompson technique will first examine your leg length and determine if differences in leg length are causing stress to these critical areas. Then, alignments are made in the identified location to alleviate the pain and discomfort.

Gonstead Technique

Life In Motion Chiropractic utilizes the Gonstead technique to address the problem instead of providing short-term relief. The Gonstead approach offers a thorough analysis (generally of the spine) that relies on accurate adjustments with careful attention to technique.

SOT ( Sacro Occipital Technique)

The SOT technique focuses on the base of the spine, the “sacrum,” and the top of the spine, the “occiput.” This technique is known for its gentle manipulations, focusing on moving cerebrospinal fluid from the sacrum to the occiput. The premise behind SOT is that gentle manipulations can help identify misalignments in your body and sources of poor health, illnesses, or other disorders.

Instrument-Assisted Technique

Our office also employs an electronic adjusting instrument called ArthroStim. This is effective for patients who don’t like the “popping” or manual pressure that comes with many standard techniques. The instrument allows direct contact with the vertebrae we’re working with and can provide varying pressure levels. This powerful tool delivers 12-14 incremental thrusts per second faster than a typical single thrust a chiropractor delivers.

Family Adjustments

Many of our patients were brought in by their parents, who now bring their spouses, children, and other family members in for chiropractic adjustments.

X-rays

We have digital X-ray equipment right in his office. If you come in for an evaluation and we feel you need X-rays, there is no need to get referred out for them. We can take them, read them, and give you a report that day.

Intersegmental Traction Tables

We have three therapy tables at the office. If necessary, it’s a therapy that mobilizes the spine before or after the adjustment.

Therapeutic Exercises

There is no ‘one size fits all’ rehab exercise plan. Our staff are trained in the most evidence-based exercises designed for customized plans to address your condition. These are shown in the office, with patients accessing directions and videos for use at home. Visit our Rehab Library to see just a few home exercises we commonly prescribe.

Laser Therapy

Our office utilizes a Class 4 LightCure Laser. This high-powered laser can penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular repair and offering pain relief.

The therapy works by decreasing inflammation, releasing pain-relieving endorphins, and accelerating the repair of connective tissue like ligaments, tendons, muscles, etc. The laser works through a process called photobiomodulation. This process allows light rays that enter the body to interact with the mitochondria in the cells and cellular processes accelerating the body’s natural healing processes.

Myofascial Release

After adjusting the spine and ensuring each segment has the appropriate motion, the doctor may also work on the surrounding muscles. Soft tissue work is essential to accelerating the healing process by ensuring proper function and help accelerate the healing process.
