Our Methods
At Total Wellness Chiropractic P. A., we provide an effective, holistic approach to wellness. This means that we treat you, not just your pain. We use various types of chiropractic adjustments and techniques, as well as other healing treatments, such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, acupressure and biomodulator/biotransducer therapies. We also provide personalized nutritional counseling and exercise recommendations.
Chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a common therapeutic treatment for back pain, which is most often caused by spinal misalignment (vertebral subluxation complex). Chiropractic adjustments reduce the subluxation to increase range of motion, reduce nerve irritability and pain, and improve function.
Some of the techniques we use include:
Activator Technique
Activator technique is a gentle chiropractic treatment for decreasing joint pain and increasing joint motion. We use a small, handheld instrument to deliver a gentle precision force to the spine to restore motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or joint.
Flexion Distraction
Flexion Distraction is a chiropractic technique used to treat many conditions of the lower spine. This method is aimed at increasing spinal motion and resolving disc bulges and herniations. The treatment is a safe, gentle, non-force procedure that works well to take pressure off spinal nerves that may be irritated or inflamed.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to deliver relief to treated areas and promote healing. Ultrasound therapy may be used alone or in conjunction with stretching, heat, or gentle chiropractic manipulation.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation – electrodes are placed on the skin that send gentle electrical pulses to different areas of the body with the purpose of reducing inflammation, curtailing muscle spasms and relieving back pain.
Acupressure
Acupressure – is a type of massage. I apply pressure to certain parts of the body, known as acupressure points, or acupoints. When applied to the right points, this pressure can relieve pain in other parts of the body as well.
Therapeutic Massage
Massage incorporates manual touch to improve circulation, relax muscles, improve range of motion and increase endorphin levels. Administered by our therapist, this massage is specific to the patient’s treatment areas and is usually done pre or post adjustment.
Tennant Biomodulator
Biomodulator/Biotransducer this therapy uses microcurrent, biofeedback and neuromodulation technologies designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Learn more (PDF Download 1.3MB)
Infrared Sauna Therapy
Detoxification through sweat is a centuries old practice. Modern environmental medicine has proven that sweat is more than temperature regulation, it’s also part of the body’s elimination system. It’s one of the best ways to detox your body.
Infrared offers a more enjoyable, pleasant experience. It warms the body from within instead of just heating the air around you. This provides a unique opportunity for health benefits beyond a traditional sauna

Near Infrared Light Therapy
We now offer Red Light low laser therapy for drug free pain relief.
Our Healthlight devices offer an efficient and comfortable drug free pain relief experience for patients.
Light therapy relieves pain by facilitating the natural healing process of the body. After just 20 minutes of light therapy, blood flow is increased to nerves and other tissues, and this boost of local circulation lasts for several hours. It works by increasing ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) synthesis and nitric oxide production that triggers healing by increasing circulation, which relieves pain.
