We strive to get sick people well and keep the well from getting sick. Chiropractic adjustments have helped a variety of conditions. The list to the right is just a couple of the most common traumas and dysfunctions that we care for.

Doctors Austin and Paige are neck specialists. This technique focuses on the neck using very light and precise adjustments. The adjustments are custom-tailored to the patient’s anatomy as determined by the Blair Upper Cervical x-ray analysis. There is no twisting, snapping, cracking, or popping during the adjusting process making this technique gentle and comfortable. Headaches, migraines, anxiety, and many other symptoms can be related to neck subluxations. Due to the low force of the adjustment, this technique is highly sought after. The table utilized has a special dropping mechanism that absorbs the impact of the adjustment rather than the neck. This method requires additional post-graduate training aside from an already rigorous Chiropractic curriculum.
All Chiropractors at Highland Family Chiropractic in Butte, MT practice and utilize this method.

This is a technique is for full spine adjusting and utilizes a special adjusting table that drops away with the adjustments. The patient typically does not feel a thing as this technique requires no twisting or turning to make corrections. We often hear patients say they do not like the popping noises. This technique is great for those hesitant about sounding like a bag of popcorn.

This can be considered the most common technique in the chiropractic profession. This too is a full spine adjusting technique that has a tendency to produce more audibles than other techniques during the adjusting process.

This is a full spine technique and protocol. These adjustments commonly produce the audible people refer to as “cracking”. This technique is very controlled in which bone is to be moved and how it is to be done. Many chiropractors utilize aspects of the technique and we have been trained in it as well. The Gonstead technique is excellent for low back and pelvic issues in particular.

This is a tool-based adjusting protocol that allows the device to make the adjustment rather than a chiropractor’s hands. This is a technique that we use primarily for little ones and babies but we have also found it beneficial for those with Fibromyalgia and different levels of osteopenia/osteoporosis. The tool produces a click when the adjustment is delivered. This technique is considered one of the lightest forms in the profession.

Dr. Paige is certified in the ICPA Websters protocol. This protocol can be used on anyone with pelvic instability and dysfunction but was originally developed for pregnancy. The idea behind this technique is that if the pelvis is in proper alignment the uterus will be able to open and create space for babies as they develop inside the womb. This also provides proper neurologic function of the pelvic floor, uterine, and abdominal muscles to ensure mom is able to labor and deliver with optimal function. When the pelvis is unstable and out of alignment it can cause round ligament pain, sciatic pain, low back pain, and dysfunction of the uterus and pelvic floor. NOT TO MENTION the increased difficulty for mom to activate muscles to help deliver little one safe and efficiently.
When dysfunctional tension of the uterus occurs little one can become “cramped” forcing them to find a more comfortable, but less desirable position in utero. Unfortunately, between 32-36 weeks, these positions can be seen as frank breech, footling breech, and occiput posterior on ultrasound. Keeping the pelvis clear of instability and misalignments help alleviate the dreaded aches and pains of pregnancy for mom as well as provide the ability for the baby to position themselves optimally for development and delivery.

This technique focuses on relaxing different muscle groups that can prevent adjustments from holding position due to spasming. The chiropractor will work the length of the muscle with their hands to alleviate the tension/spasm. Chronic muscle tension is common in most people, supplementing our adjustments with this technique helps us to get you feeling better faster.
