At Renewed Hope Chiropractic & Wellness, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in our Grand Forks chiropractic office, but please call us at 701-738-0990 if you have any questions!
We utilize the following techniques and processes in our office
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Garret Swenson has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.
Diversified Technique
The most commonly used Adjustive technique by chiropractors, the diversified technique characterized by a high velocity low amplitude thrust with which the objective is to restore proper movement and alignment of spine and joint dysfunction.
X-ray analysis
At our office we utilize digital x-rays to analyze the spine and surrounding structures. This allows us the best information to provide safe and specific adjustments to our patients. This is especially important if you've recently or previously been in an accident, are having chronic pain, or have degeneration that occurs as we age.
Thompson Drop Technique
This technique utilizes specialized tables which have pressure sensitive drops which allow for less bending and twisting positions that the patient must placed in to adjust the spine.
Webster technique
The Webster technique is designed for expecting mothers. This technique works to keep the pelvic girdle in proper alignment thereby keeping the birth canal open and creating space for baby to turn head down in preparation for coming into the world.
Soft tissue facilitation
In some cases the muscles will have tightened to the point where adjusting the spine becomes very difficult. In these cases some degree of muscle and soft tissue work often needs to be applied to get the adjustment applied and held in position for any length of time. At RH Chiropractic we utilize some trigger point techniques, massage techniques, and/or massage gun to help relax these muscles. In cases of more intensive muscular problems we may recommend adjunctive treatments with a massage therapist or physical therapist.
Activator Technique
Activator is an instrument technique which is significantly lower force than the adjustment delivered by hand. The same principles apply in finding areas of spinal stress and misalignment, in this case corrected through a small spring loaded instrument that introduces a specific directed force into the area.
Nutritional support
Our office utilizes Orthomolecular and Standard Process Brand supplements to aid in supporting a strong and healthy body.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
