We take pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to our patients.  Below is a sampling of the different services we offer in our clinic.

 Chiropractic Techniques:

 

	Activator Activator technique utilizes a small spring-loaded adjusting instrument to deliver a focused corrective impulse into the dysfunctional spinal segment. This technique is most commonly used in patients who prefer a low-force correction without the traditional "hands-on" thrust.
	Diversified Techniques Diversified techniques is the most common technique chiropractors use to manipulate the spinal column. The technique utilizes quick impulses delivered to the "stuck" or "fixated" spinal segment by the doctor's hands.
	Cox Flexion/Distraction Primary technique used to gently decompress known or suspected disc herniations, cases of sciatica or acute low back sprains requiring a very controlled amount of force. This technique has been shown to reduce the intraspinal pressure associated with disk herniation causing spinal canal narrowing. We are one of the few clinics in St. Charles County who are credentialed in this technique.
	Thompson Thompson technique utilizes "drop" pieces. The patient lies on their stomach while the doctor delivers a corrective thrust to the spine or pelvis. The "drop" pieces absorb much of the force of thrust, resulting in a more comfortable adjustment for the patient.

 

Rehabilitative Exercises

Resistive training, exercise and stretching techniques related to chiropractic and physical therapy help support an active and healthy lifestyle.

In order to achieve a return to full function, the body needs to perform activities that it is not used to performing, or not strong enough to perform. By targeting the weak areas of the body, patient recovery is hastened, and results are longer lasting.

At Sturges Chiropractic and Sports Medicine, we specialize in helping patients recover from injury while continuing to progress in other aspects of fitness to achieve their goals. The benefits of this treatment method are more effective therapy and quicker healing. This is extremely important when a person wants to live an active lifestyle with no limitations.
