Chiropractic Care in Manalapan, New Jersey

Why You Should Go to a Chiropractor

Part of the chiropractic approach involves determining whether the body’s natural structure has caused problems with the functions in other areas of your body because of reactions in the nervous system.

Structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord by affecting the normal communication of information from the brain to the rest of the body.

Dr. Wayne F. Kreiger has over 40 years of experience in the field of chiropractic. In addition to chiropractic care, Dr. Kreiger has a number of other alternative healthcare services including Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology, Physiotherapy, Cold Laser Therapy, Pre-natal & Pediatric Care, Therapeutic Ultrasound Treatments and much more.

Chiropractic Adjustments

At its most basic, chiropractors perform a therapeutic procedure called spinal adjustment or chiropractic manipulation.

In most cases, back pain emanates from the misalignment (called vertebral subluxation) of the spinal vertebrae. The subluxation, basically an impinged nerve, causes irritations of the spinal nerve which in turn inhibits the normal nerve flow from the brain to the tissue. A gentle chiropractic adjustment is used to realign the spine.

Chiropractic Techniques

Diversified Technique

Among other methods, we utilize the diversified technique at our clinic which includes high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts during adjustments. The diversified technique is the most commonly used adjustment technique and its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment to the joints and spine.

Activator Method

The activator method is used at our clinic and involves a small handle instrument which provides for a gentler chiropractic adjustment.

Koren Specific Technique

KST is a healing method used to locate and correct areas of blockage and interference in the body that are often missed by most healthcare professionals. The KST is a newer method of chiropractic in which there is no turning, cracking or popping of the joints.

Toggle Recoil

This method provides for a gentler chiropractic adjustment by utilizing a special table that recoils when the adjustment is made. Also Dr. Kreiger will follow the adjustment force with a quick withdrawal of the contact point of his adjusting hand furthermore providing for a more gentle adjustment.

Flexion Distraction (Cox Technique)

This technique applies small precise amounts of flexion distraction to the part of the spine experiencing herniation or disc compression. As the vertebrae are gently pulled away from each other, the negative pressure draws the bulging or herniated disc back into position relieving nerve pressure and pain.
