Our Chiropractic Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Instrument Adjusting

There are several ways to adjust the spine to correct Vertebral Subluxation. We use two different types of low force adjusting instruments in our clinic, the Activator and the Integrator.

The Adjusting Instruments are a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust. Because they are many times faster than adjustments delivered by hand, the body rarely tightens to resist, making adjustments comfortable and effective.

Digital Posture Analysis and Measurement

Posture is very important, it provides a “window” to your spine. Misalignments that we see on a posture exam can give clues to the condition and position of the spine. We use a program that analyses your posture, and allows us to measure the postural displacements. This allows us to measure your posture at the beginning of your care, analyze it, and give specific exercises to correct it. As your care progresses, we have an objective measure to monitor your posture changes. It is just one of the many outcomes and goals we use to monitor your progress at Zavitz Family Chiropractic.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Zavitz know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care. Take a look to see what to expect when you visit our office.

Zavitz Family Chiropractic Asks some important questions of interest to Guelph residents - Chiropractor Guelph Zavitz Family Chiropractic Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each practice member. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Guelph and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
