Our Chiropractic Techniques at George J. Lubertazzo Family Chiropractic

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 clinical judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Diversified

Back adjustment After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints.

Activator Methods®

This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust.

SOT

Sacro Occipital Technique helps normalize the relationship between the pelvis and the head, using gravity to make the necessary correction.

Gonstead

This full spine approach relies on X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for a thorough evaluation and documented results.

Torque Release

With a gentle touch and a light thrusting by hand or an instrument called an Integrator, the brain/body connection is enhanced.

Palmer Package

We’re experts on a wide range of effective adjusting approaches taught at the Palmer College of Chiropractic, the birthplace of chiropractic.

Thompson

Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine.

The Webster Technique

A Chiropractic Technique To Turn Breech Babies

The Webster technique was developed by the late Dr. Larry Webster, D.C. Dr. Webster was the founder of what is today known as the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

Dr. Webster developed the technique that now bears his name in an effort to address what he called “intrauterine constraint”. By reducing the stresses being applied to the mother’s uterus, the baby would be given more room to move into the proper head down position on his own. This approach has proven to be much less traumatic than the obstetric approach, known as external cephalic version, and much more effective as well.

The Webster technique consists of chiropractic evaluation of the sacrum and it’s alignment within the pelvis. Adjustments are performed to put the sacrum back into the correct alignment. Massage and stretching of the attachment points of the uterine ligaments on the abdominal wall is also performed. This specific combination of adjustments and soft tissue work serve to normalize the tension of the uterine ligaments on the uterus itself and result in the reduction of intrauterine constraint. With normal tension on the uterus and more room within, the fetus can position itself where it already knows it needs to be, head down!

As a pediatric and prenatal chiropractic specialist myself, I have had the privilege of assisting many expectant mommies to avoid c-section deliveries by applying the Webster technique. The most current published research on the effectiveness of the Webster technique demonstrates an 82% success rate. The results in my office have been comparable. I am a Webster technique certified chiropractor and member of the ICPA.
