Our Chiropractic Services

A variety of services are offered here at Park Bench Chiropractic.

We focus on basic chiropractic care.

The two chiropractors (DC's) will perform all aspects of your care personally.

Your time spent at our office will not be unnecessarily long, despite the number of treatment modalities we may use.

Depending on the type of condition you have and the severity of your case, different techniques or strategies will be used.

Dr. Romano and Dr. Schooley are experienced in a variety of chiropractic adjusting techniques, including Diversified, Thompson drop table, Cox Flexion-Distraction, Activator, and others. Dr. Romano and Dr. Schooley are also Board Certified with full Physical Therapy credentials so certain physical therapy modalities may be used in your treatment.

Specific Chiropractic Adjustments

We pride ourselves on providing great chiropractic care. We use careful manual or mechanical pressure placed on the spine or other regions to restore normal motion to malfunctioning joints. Our goal is to rely primarily on manual (not machine-assisted, no gadgets involved) adjusting (also called "manipulation") of the spine, using the appropriate amount of force to provide the correction that is needed.

Extremity Adjusting

Many times we will find misalignments in the joints of your arms, legs, hands, feet, wrist, shoulder, jaw, or other area that we will be able to address. Please feel free to ask us during an office visit. Extremity adjustments can be mich different than spinal adjustments, including in the methods used to locate problematic joints and the ease of adjusting different joints in the body.

Heat Therapy

We will apply moist heat packs to relax over-excited muscles. It is a simple and effective technique to relax tense muscles, and relaxed muscles mean the adjustment will be easier.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation

We can use electrical stimulation to calm tense muscles and reduce pain sensation. This is usually used with moist heat.

Therapeutic Massage

Experienced Massage Therapist Stacy Allgood-Smith from Allgood Therapeutic Massage works out of Park Bench Chiropractic in the evenings by appointment. Contact her at her website or call our office and we will help you set up your appointment with her.

Vibratory Massage

A handheld massaging device is often used to smooth off any rough edges before or after a much-needed adjustment.

Manual Therapy

Sometimes we will apply a traction force to your spine to relieve pressure on discs or spinal joints. Other manual therapies include massage and stretching, trigger point therapy, cranial manual therapy, and more.

Flexion-Distraction

This is used to address disc inflammation or bulging, especially with symptoms going into the legs or arms. Flexion-distraction involves a specially designed adjusting table.

Rehabilitation Exercise

Stretching, strengthening & coordination development as well as ergonomic counseling aimed at rehabilitating injured regions. While we typically focus on pain-relief initially, we do our best to educate our clients and give them some exercises and stretches that will keep them from re-injuring themselves.
