At the Oregon Natural Health Center, we use several gentle, proven Chiropractic methods to give you the best result.
Dr. Judith Allan, former Reseach Clinic Director for the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, is highly trained in these techniques. Each technique is a tool for healing.
Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique
Activator Method Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) is the most widely used technique worldwide; a testament to its safety and efficacy. AMCT uses the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to detect joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities for improved patient care.
The Activator Adjusting Instrument gives consistent low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustments.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST), developed at the Upledger Institute is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system - the physiological body system comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
CST enhances the body's natural healing processes to improve the operation of the central nervous system, dissipate the negative effects of stress, enhance health and strengthen resistance to disease. The method generally requires only five grams of pressure - the equivalent weight of a nickel - to test for restrictions in various parts of the craniosacral system. Often the evaluation alone will help solve the presenting problem.
Other Methods
Dr. Allan uses a diversified approach, drawing from the latest research and her personal experience with patients to tailor the treatments to the patient and the condition. Her gentle skills and warm hands will help bring you relief from your pain.
