The chiropractic adjustment represents the fundamental core principle of chiropractic treatment. It is used successfully to treat a variety of soft tissue disorders as well as other health problems.

The adjustment or manipulation is the process of applying a quick but gentle pressure to "subluxated" vertebrae in a corrective manner. Subluxation exists when a vertebra loses its normal alignment or motion.

During an adjustment, you may hear a clicking or popping sound. This is caused by gas release within the joint capsule—a natural and harmless process called cavitation.

The adjustment delivers gentle movement into restricted joints and tight muscles. By encouraging proper motion, pain and inflammation are reduced.

Dr Janique uses various adjustment techniques tailored to your specific needs, including:

• Diversified Technique
• Thompson Drop Technique
• Activator Methods
• SOT (Sacro Occipital Technique)
• And other specialized approaches

The adjustments are not painful. Most patients look forward to their adjustments and experience immediate relief from pain and discomfort, improved mobility, and an increased sense of wellbeing.

The Hypervolt is a state-of-the-art percussion therapy device that delivers rapid, targeted pulses to muscle tissue. This advanced technology helps release tension, reduce soreness, and improve circulation.

Benefits include:

• Reduces muscle soreness and stiffness
• Improves blood flow and circulation
• Speeds up recovery after injury or intense activity
• Enhances flexibility and range of motion
• Complements chiropractic adjustments perfectly

Dr Janique uses the Hypervolt strategically before or after adjustments to prepare muscles for treatment or to extend the benefits of your session.

FAKTR (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab) is an innovative approach using specialized instruments to treat soft tissue restrictions and scar tissue.

This technique is particularly effective for:

• Breaking down scar tissue and adhesions
• Treating chronic pain and injuries
• Improving tissue mobility and flexibility
• Accelerating healing in injured areas
• Addressing fascial restrictions

Dr Janique combines FAKTR with functional movement to restore proper biomechanics and reduce pain effectively.

Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles to target myofascial trigger points—tight knots in muscles that cause pain and restrict movement.

This technique:

• Releases muscle trigger points instantly
• Reduces chronic muscle pain and tension
• Improves blood flow to affected areas
• Restores normal muscle function
• Complements chiropractic adjustments

Many patients experience immediate relief from pain and improved range of motion after dry needling treatment.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that has been practiced by Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures for centuries.

Cupping is performed by placing suction cups on the skin to create a vacuum. The vacuum lifts the skin and underlying tissues upwards, promoting blood circulation and tissue relaxation.

Benefits of dry cupping:

• Relieves deep muscle tension and knots
• Improves circulation and promotes healing
• Reduces inflammation naturally
• Enhances lymphatic drainage
• Provides deep tissue release
• Increases mobility and range of motion

Dr Janique uses cupping strategically to address a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including back, neck, joint pain, and muscle tension.

Kinesiology tape is a flexible, therapeutic tape applied to muscles and joints to provide support without restricting movement.

How it helps:

• Supports injured muscles and joints
• Reduces pain and inflammation
• Improves circulation and lymphatic flow
• Allows full range of motion during healing
• Extends the benefits of your adjustment
• Helps maintain proper posture and alignment

Dr Janique applies kinesiology tape strategically to support your body between visits and accelerate recovery.
