Chiropractic Care
Understanding Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractic care with Dr. Dustin Mattila focuses on the critical relationship between your spine, nervous system, and overall health. When areas of your spine become injured, misaligned, or lack proper mobility, they directly impact nerve flow, potentially causing pain, inflammation, and other symptoms. Through careful assessment and specific adjustments, Dr. Dustin Mattila restores proper spinal alignment and mobility.
Our Chiropractic Techniques
Dr. Dustin Mattila utilizes several proven adjustment methods to provide personalized care for each patient. Diversified technique, our most commonly used approach, involves precise hands-on adjustments that restore proper joint movement and alignment. For patients who benefit from a different approach, we also offer Thompson drop technique, which uses specialized tables with sections that “drop” a small amount during the adjustment to enhance effectiveness while reducing the force needed. Additionally, Activator method is available for those preferring a gentler approach using a small handheld instrument to deliver controlled, low-force corrections.
