Techniques We Use to Improve Your Spinal Health
At Yoder Chiropractic Center, Dr. Tim and our team specialize in a wide range of proven chiropractic techniques, including Diversified, Palmer Package, Gonstead, Thompson Drop, SOT Blocks, Pettibon, and Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP). These advanced methods allow us to customize every adjustment to meet your specific needs and spinal health goals.
Our mission is to provide comprehensive, personalized chiropractic care that helps patients in Vancouver, WA, and throughout Clark County achieve long-term relief, improved function, and better overall wellness.
Our Approach
We primarily use manual chiropractic adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment and optimize nervous system function. For patients who prefer or require a lighter touch, we also offer gentle and instrument-assisted methods. This combination ensures comfort, precision, and effective results for patients of all ages, from children to seniors.
Our approach goes beyond temporary relief. At Yoder Chiropractic Center, we focus on corrective chiropractic care that promotes long-term spinal health, improved posture, and lasting functional improvement.
Specialized Focus
Our chiropractic care is designed to support a range of health and structural goals. We specialize in:
- Arthritic Improvement – Gentle, targeted adjustments that reduce joint stiffness, improve mobility, and help manage chronic arthritic discomfort.
- Scoliosis Correction – Advanced chiropractic techniques that help balance spinal curvature, improve posture, and reduce strain caused by scoliosis.
- Postural Restoration and Balance – Corrective methods to realign the spine, enhance body symmetry, and prevent long-term degeneration.
At Yoder Chiropractic Center, we’re dedicated to helping you move better, feel better, and live better through customized, corrective chiropractic care.
Chiropractic Techniques We Offer
Diversified Technique
The Diversified Technique is one of the most widely practiced chiropractic methods. It involves a hands-on, manual adjustment to correct spinal misalignments, improve joint mobility, and enhance nervous system function.
Patients often experience immediate improvements in movement and reduced pain. This technique is known for its precise, quick thrusts and is ideal for addressing common issues such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
Palmer Package
The Palmer Package combines several effective chiropractic methods taught at Palmer College of Chiropractic, often referred to as the “fountainhead” of chiropractic care. This approach emphasizes proper spinal alignment, posture correction, and nerve flow. By using a variety of manual techniques, the Palmer Package allows chiropractors to adapt each adjustment to the patient’s comfort level and spinal health goals.
Gonstead Technique
The Gonstead Technique is a detailed, analytical system of chiropractic care that focuses on precise adjustments based on X-rays and thorough spinal analysis. By pinpointing specific vertebrae that are out of alignment, this method ensures accuracy and safety. Gonstead adjustments are performed by hand and are particularly effective for relieving nerve pressure, improving posture, and enhancing overall spinal stability.
Thompson Drop Table Technique
The Thompson Drop Technique uses a specially designed chiropractic table with drop sections that gently assist the adjustment process. This method allows for a lighter touch while maintaining precision, making it ideal for patients who prefer a less forceful adjustment. It can help with conditions such as lower back pain, sciatica, and pelvic imbalance while reducing stress on the body during treatment.
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) Blocks
The Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) uses small cushioned blocks strategically placed under specific areas of the pelvis to encourage natural realignment and balance. This gentle method supports the body’s structural integrity without manual thrusts, making it an excellent option for sensitive patients or those recovering from injury. SOT helps improve posture, reduce tension, and support better function of the spine and nervous system.
Pettibon System
The Pettibon Technique focuses on spinal correction through both in-office adjustments and postural rehabilitation exercises. Using specialized tools and traction methods, Pettibon helps restore the natural curves of the spine, improve muscle balance, and promote long-term structural health. This system often includes at-home exercises, assisting patients to maintain progress between visits.
Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP)
Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) is a research-based approach that combines biomechanics, physics, and spinal modeling to correct posture and spinal alignment. CBP goes beyond symptom relief; it aims to restore the spine to its ideal position for lasting health benefits. This method is particularly effective for patients with chronic postural issues, scoliosis, or long-term pain due to spinal misalignment.
Personalized Chiropractic Care for Every Patient
Every patient’s body is unique, and so is their chiropractic care plan. By offering multiple adjustment techniques, Dr. Tim and our team can create a personalized treatment plan that fits your health goals, comfort level, and lifestyle.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to enhance posture and performance, our holistic approach focuses on addressing the root cause, rather than just alleviating symptoms.
