The Thompson Technique, Diversified Technique. Gonstead Technique, Cox Flexion Distraction Technique and Activator Technique have been evolved into multiple systems of analysis and means of adjusting the spinal column safely. The combination of techniques allows Dr. Bell to treat patients from infancy through geriatrics producing precise adjustments.

Trigger Point

The primary purpose of Trigger Point Therapy is to reduce the pain that results from hypersensitive muscles. Trigger points are identified by gently pressing on the surface of the skin, sensing the texture of the underlying muscle.

A trigger point is like a knot the size of a pea, buried deep in the muscle tissue. It is made up of lactic acid, a normal byproduct of muscular activity, which sometimes gets trapped in the muscle from physical, chemical or emotional stress.

Drop Table

This technique makes use of specialized drop-piece mechanisms in the table to assist the adjustment. Individual cushions or "drop pieces" located along the table support each area of the spine until the thrust is given. Then, each drop-piece gently gives way, reducing the pressure needed to move a specific spinal segment.
