Diversified Technique

Diversified technique is the most widely used chiropractic manipulative technique. Dr. Christopher Brill utilizes this technique to help alleviate pain and properly align the spine. Its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment to the spine while also restoring joint function.
 
Dr. Brill will begin with an analysis of your spine. This will involve a case history and possibly X-rays of your spine. Once the area of pain is located and the malposition of one or more spinal bones is identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth and angle of the adjustment that are used are the result of years of training, experience and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics. The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint.

Treat Acid Reflux with Chiropractic

Acid reflux is a condition that occurs when your lower esophageal sphincter, a valve of muscle fibers where your esophagus and stomach meet, does not close properly. When this happens, the contents of your stomach, which includenaturally strong acids and enzymes used to break down food, can leak up into your esophagus and cause a burning pain in your chest, nausea and difficulty swallowing.

While medication can provide short term relief, chiropractic can provide long-lasting treatment. Dr. Christopher Brill uses chiropractic care to improve the overall health and function of his patients’ bodies, and he does this through spinal adjustments that keep all the systems of the body working properly. If there are interferences or misalignments in the spine, the systems of the body cannot function at peak levels, which leads to many different issues, including acid reflux.

In addition to adjustments, we provide patients with guidance on nutrition and lifestyle choices that can eliminate acid reflux and prevent its return. If your acid reflux is caused by a hiatal hernia, where the top part of the stomach pinches through the diaphragm muscle, Dr. Brill can treat that as well without drugs or surgery.
