Palmer Specific Chiropractic Techniques in Winston-Salem
Finding where a spinal problem is coming from is an important part of deciding how to address it. At Erickson Clinic of Chiropractic, Palmer Specific chiropractic techniques place a strong emphasis on examining spinal alignment, identifying areas of concern, and using hands-on adjusting techniques to address what is found.
A Strong Focus on Examining and Adjusting the Spine
Palmer Specific techniques are associated with Palmer College of Chiropractic, where Dr. Erickson completed his chiropractic training. From the beginning of his education, there was a strong focus on examining the spine, evaluating spinal alignment, locating misaligned vertebrae and areas of nerve irritation, and learning how to adjust them.
Dr. Erickson was trained in 14 different chiropractic adjusting techniques as part of his Palmer education. This range of hands-on methods gives him different ways to approach spinal findings rather than relying on only one adjusting technique. That training involved extensive practice in both finding areas of concern within the spine and learning how to adjust them.
Hands-On Examination Guides Care
Palmer training places particular emphasis on using the hands to examine and adjust the spine. Rather than beginning with the same routine for everyone, Dr. Erickson examines spinal alignment and movement to determine where chiropractic findings are present and how they may be addressed.
People may seek chiropractic care for concerns such as headaches, neck pain, or low back pain. Because the source of discomfort isn’t always obvious from symptoms alone, examining spinal movement and alignment can help Dr. Erickson determine what findings may be relevant and which adjusting approach may be considered.
His training in multiple adjusting techniques also allows the approach to be adapted based on what he finds during the examination.
