Postural Correction
Unlike many chiropractic offices, the main
emphasis at Advanced Spinal Fitness is on
spinal correction. Many people have a spine
that has changed shape compared to
normal.  When the shape of the spine is
altered, the body will “lock up” and manifest
symptoms. Rather than releasing the same
tight spots over and over again, ASF believes
that fixing the shape of the spine makes
more sense.

In order to help reshape the spine, several
methods are used in corrective care at ASF.  
Mirror image adjustments, home exercises
are extra steps lead to symptom relief,
increased function AND correction of the
shape of the spine to normal or near-normal.

Types of Adjustments
As for the actual adjustment,
each body needs a different
approach.  At ASF, care is administered
according to what is appropriate for the
condition of the body, and patient preference.  
Adjustments that are non-audible (no
cracking noise) can be given.  Conversely,
our doctors care for many muscular athletes,
and can apply more than adequate force for a
muscular physique.  Our doctors encourage
their patients to give feedback on what
adjustments are most comfortable and
effective on them as they experience the
different styles.

Extremity Care
Our doctors are skilled not just in spinal
adjustments, but also extremity care.  The
shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and
feet are often sources of pain, especially for
active people.  In fact, many patients have
back trouble because of injuries in the hips,
knees or feet.  Working on the back
exclusively may provide some relief, but the
problem cannot be solved without
addressing the extremity that is creating the
issue.  At ASF, our number one goal is
always to get to the cause of the problem!

Low Intensity Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy uses red and infrared light for
the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and
decrease inflammation. When the light
source is placed against the skin, the
photons penetrate into the tissue and get
absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy
producing part of a cell. The extra energy
produced fuels many positive healing
responses resulting in accelerated cell and
tissue healing in the area exposed to the
laser.  Laser Therapy has been successfully
used to treat a broad range of medical
conditions, including musculoskeletal
problems, arthritis, and sports injuries.  The
Laser Therapy is low intensity, meaning it
produces no heat and in fact, usually
produces no perceptible sensation at all.  For

Graston Technique® Soft Tissue
Therapy
Graston Technique® is an innovative,
patented form of instrument-assisted soft
tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to
effectively break down scar tissue and fascial
restrictions. The technique utilizes specially
designed stainless steel instruments to
specifically detect and effectively treat areas
exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic
inflammation.  Graston Technique
decreases treatment time by fostering faster
rehabilitation and recovery of soft tissues.  In
addition, Graston Technique can help to
resolve chronic issues that are thought to be
permanent.  Check out www.
