Chiropractic Care 

The primary goal of chiropractic care is the removal and/or reduction of nerve interference caused by subluxation. To do this the doctor applies a precise force/movement in the area of the subluxation, which is called an adjustment. After a series of adjustments, function is restored, stress is relieved, and expression of life is at it's peak. The benefits of chiropractic are practically endless!

Different Techniques practiced by Dr. Cory Kopas

 

There are many different techniques that can be used and Dr. Cory will use the technique that best suits your age and condition after a full exam, case history, scan and x-rays (if needed). The following precise, effective, and comfortable techniques are used at Big Country Family Chiropractic:

​

• Diversified Technique

  • A hands-on technique using a high velocity, low-amplitude thrust.​ This usually results in the cavitation, or "popping sound", of the joint. Although this sound is is often associated with chiropractic adjustments, it does not indicate the effectiveness of the adjustment.

​

• Thompson Drop Technique

  • Also a hands on technique that uses a specialized table with individual drop pieces that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust the spine. ​

​​

• Logan Basic Technique

  • A light force, full spine, tonal technique that highlights the correction of spinal and pelvic pathobiomechanics.​

​​

• Activator Technique

  • The activator is a hand-held, spring loaded device that is able to deliver a quicker, but lighter thrust than what can be delivered by hand. This technique is used for children that do not desire hand manipulation (sensory) and in situations where manual adjustments are contraindicated.​
