The chiropractic adjustment is the most common treatment used in chiropractic care. It is a passive manual maneuver during which a three-joint complex is gently taken past its normal range of movement, within the joint’s safe limits. Its defining factor is a dynamic thrust — a sudden, controlled force that causes an audible release and works to increase the joint’s range of motion.
For patients who prefer a gentler approach, we also offer low-force techniques such as Arthrostim and Activator, which use a handheld instrument to deliver a precise, low-force impulse to the spine and related tissues without the traditional manual thrust, or popping sound.
“We’ve been coming to Greenbrier Family Chiropractic for almost 15 years now. Our 11 year old daughter has been getting adjustments since she was in preschool. Their compassion, professionalism and sincerity for making Chiropractics a pleasing experience that also showed immediate results has kept us loyal. Thank you Greenbrier Family Chiropractic for all you do for our family!”

“I am an eighty-year old retired R.N.. This was my first experience at a chiropractor. I have been seen by Dr. Jim and Dr. Kendrick for two months of treatment for shoulder and biceps pain. My experience has been very satisfying. I am now pain free and able to return to my exercise class and routine of daily living. Thank you Dr. Jim and Dr. Kendrick”

“October 2012 my neck started to become stiff and for 7 months it became worse to the point I couldn’t move it any longer. I was referred to Dr. Trudeau who immediately started adjusting me along with Dr. G. and Dr. K (all are great!!). Within 2 ½ months of adjustments, exercise routines they gave me and the vitamin regimen, I feel 10 years younger without pain. Recommend them highly!”
