Dr. Jim Handzel has utilized and perfected numerous techniques in his career as a Chiropractor. Everyone is different, with unique situations, therefore many times it takes a combination of techniques to gain the benefits that people are looking for in health and wellness.

Listed here are a few of the most commonly utilized Chiropractic Techniques:

1. The Gonstead system gives rise to a specific, definite approach, to every segment of the spinal column. The detailed analysis includes instrumentation, palpation by hand, motion palpation, visualization, radiographs, followed by specifically adjusting the articulations of the spine by hand.

2. Diversified Palmer: Diversified adjustive procedures; vector line-of-correction; the focus is on restoration to as closed to normal bio-mechanical function as possible, and correction of subluxations (subluxations cause interference to nerves). Diversified methods have been developed to adjust extremities (hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, ribs, hips, legs, ankles, feet), allowing for beneficial applications in treating sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents injuries, and other injuries detected through static and motion palpation findings.

3. Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) is a specialty within the chiropractic profession that focuses specifically on the analysis and restoration of the Essential Spinal Curves (god given postures) using state of the art adjusting tables (Omni) through scientifically proven methods of adjusting, exercising, and stretch therapies.

4. The Thompson Technique utilizes a "Segmental Drop Table" to enhance the motion force imparted towards the segment or area to be Adjusted. Very low force, very specific to the problematic joint, tissue, and nerve.

5. Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) uses an Activator Tool and utilizes the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to seek joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities for improved patient care. AMCT uses the Activator Adjusting Instrument to give consistent low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustments.

6. Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) is a unique method of chiropractic care that identifies the cause of your symptoms by combining spinal and extremity alignment with soft tissue analysis and cranial sacral procedures. SOT allows the body to restore postures through gravity and specific blocking.

7. Applied Kinesioloy (AK) is a treatment based on the principle that organ dysfunction is correlated with associated muscle weakness.

8. Pediatric Chiropractic care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, specific chiropractic care offers choices and benefits for greater health and well-being.
