Our clinic

We believe that chiropractic can help a variety of conditions and that, in most cases, chiropractic works best when combined with other physical medicine modalities. We strive to offer all our patients the opportunity to benefit from a combination of techniques.

The overall goal of chiropractic care is to promote long term health and well-being. Ideally, chiropractic is part of an ongoing program of health maintenance. Very often treatment is, at least initially, symptom-driven; patients seek help for a wide variety of conditions which tend to respond well to chiropractic care. Here the more immediate goal is the relief of a particular complaint, often measured by reduced pain, increased range of motion, or improved strength.

We believe that chiropractic can help a variety of conditions and that, in most cases, chiropractic works best when combined with other physical medicine modalities. We strive to offer all our patients the opportunity to benefit from a combination of techniques.

Traditional techniques are those, like Diversified, Gonstead, Thomspon, and Toggle Recoil, that involve direct, manual manipulation of the spine. Low force techniques, like Lumbar Distraction, Sacral Occipital Technique, and Activator, use instrumentation to accomplish the adjustment. Dr. Deden also does extremity adjusting as appropriate.

In most cases (unless contra-indicated) your visit will include some form of chiropractic physiotherapy in addition to the adjustment. Our clinic specializes in two forms of chiropractic physiotherapy in particular: a form of manual therapy called Trigger Point Therapy and a form of therapeutic exercise and stretching called Active Isolated Stretching.

Massage and acupuncture are also available. Our massage therapists take individual massage appointments, and we have recently added the services of a licensed acupuncturist.
