Chiropractic Adjustments (Hands-On)
Hands-on chiropractic adjustments use controlled, precise pressure to restore motion in stiff or restricted joints. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors perform these adjustments to reduce pain, ease muscle tension, and improve overall spinal function. We often recommend this type of care for conditions like back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, and joint discomfort caused by poor posture or injury.
At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, hands-on chiropractic adjustments are paired with physical therapy and exercise, ensuring patients benefit from both improved alignment and stronger support. This teamwork helps patients recover faster while preventing future flare-ups.
Chiropractic Adjustments (Instrument Assisted)
Instrument-assisted chiropractic adjustments use specialized tools to deliver targeted, low-force corrections to the spine and joints. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors use these techniques for patients who prefer a gentler option or who may not be comfortable with traditional hands-on adjustments. This method is especially helpful for older adults, patients with arthritis, or those recovering from injuries.
What makes Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy different is the way instrument-assisted adjustments are incorporated into a larger care plan that includes physical therapy and rehabilitation. This approach ensures patients receive safe, effective treatment that restores mobility, reduces discomfort, and supports lasting spinal health.
Tonal Techniques – Torque Release Technique and Others
Tonal chiropractic techniques, including torque release technique, use light, precise adjustments to restore balance in the nervous system and improve overall function. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors use these methods to reduce tension, support better posture, and improve how the body adapts to stress. Tonal techniques are effective for patients with headaches, chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and those seeking a softer alternative to traditional adjustments.
Furthermore, at Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy we combine these techniques with physical therapy and exercise-based care. This integrated approach ensures patients receive treatment that is appropriate, personalized, and focused on long-term results.
Decompression Therapy
Decompression therapy is a noninvasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs, nerves, and joints. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors often recommend this therapy for patients with herniated discs, sciatica, or chronic lower back pain. By reducing compression, this treatment improves circulation, promotes healing, and eases nerve irritation.
At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, decompression therapy is combined with chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy. Patients not only experience immediate relief but also build long-term strength and mobility, helping them return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.

At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors use this technique to restore motion, reduce pain, and support overall spinal health. Diversified adjustments are effective for conditions such as back and neck pain, headaches, and joint stiffness. Patients often feel improved mobility and comfort after treatment.
At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our team pairs diversified technique with physical therapy, exercise, and education. This coordinated care model ensures patients recover faster and gain the tools needed to stay healthy long term.
Extremity Manipulation
Extremity manipulation focuses on restoring mobility in joints outside of the spine, such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors use this hands-on technique to reduce stiffness, improve alignment, and ease discomfort in the arms and legs. This treatment is especially helpful for patients with sports injuries, repetitive strain conditions, or arthritis affecting the extremities.
The Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy chiropractors often combine extremity manipulation with physical therapy and exercise-based care. This integrated approach ensures that patients experience pain relief and build lasting joint strength and stability.
Flexion-Distraction (Cox Technique)
The flexion-distraction technique, also known as the Cox technique, is a gentle chiropractic method that uses a specialized table to stretch and mobilize the spine. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors use this approach to relieve pressure from herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain. Patients benefit from reduced nerve irritation, improved spinal motion, and less muscle tension.
What sets Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy apart is the way the Cox technique is integrated with physical therapy, strengthening exercises, and education. This combination helps patients recover more effectively, reduce flare-ups, and maintain long-term spinal health with greater independence.
Spinal Manipulation (Manual Adjustment)
Spinal manipulation, also called manual adjustment, is one of the most common chiropractic treatments. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors use precise, hands-on techniques to restore proper alignment of the spine, reduce joint restrictions, and improve overall function. This therapy is often recommended for patients with back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and posture-related issues. Manual adjustments can also improve nervous system communication, which supports better mobility and less discomfort.
The Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy team often combines spinal manipulation with physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises, ensuring patients receive care that reduces pain now and protects long-term spinal health.
Thompson Drop-Table Technique
The Thompson drop-table technique is a chiropractic method that uses a special table with segmented sections that gently drop during adjustments.

The Craniosacral technique is a gentle chiropractic method that uses light pressure to release tension in the head, neck, and spine. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our chiropractors use this approach to improve the function of the central nervous system, relieve stress, and support overall wellness. This therapy is often recommended for patients with headaches, migraines, TMJ disorders, or chronic neck pain. Because it is so gentle, it can also be appropriate for sensitive patients or those seeking a softer form of chiropractic care.
