How we treat

Chiropractic Techniques We Offer

A range of approaches so we can find what works best for your body, your comfort level, and your goals.

Activator Method

A handheld instrument delivers a gentle impulse to the spine — restoring motion, improving joint function, and reducing pain. An alternative to traditional manual adjustments.

Arthrostim

Allows precise, faster corrections that hold for longer durations. Generates a gentle pulse — about 12–14 taps per second — for highly specific adjustments.

Flexion-Distraction

A gentle technique that "tractions" the spine using a specially designed adjusting table. Often used for disc-related pain and lower back issues.

Webster Technique

A specific chiropractic technique commonly used during pregnancy — designed to address pelvic balance and support comfortable pregnancy and delivery.

Diversified & Drop Techniques

Traditional manual adjustments, plus a specialized adjusting table that drops slightly during a quick, gentle thrust — comfortable for most patients.

Extremity Adjustments

Beyond the spine — gentle adjustments for shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, ankle, and foot pain. Especially useful for athletes and runners.

Reviews

What Patients Say About Dr. Martinez

★★★★★

"I went to the prior chiropractor at this location for over 20 years and was so sad when he retired. I am pleasantly surprised to find Dr. Martinez fits that bill — and if I wasn't 65, I would spend the next 20 years with his practice."

L.G.
★★★★★

"Dr. Martinez has greatly helped me with my ongoing lower back pain and bad hip-replacement pain. Through adjustments and healthy vitamins, he's helped me reduce medications I'd been taking for years. He's not a doctor who only does things one way."

J.I.
★★★★★

"Dr. Martinez is friendly, knowledgeable, and uses several methods to help patients in pain."
