Back and Neck Pain

Back and Neck Pain

Chiropractors are known for their ability to “pop” your back and relieve pain. Due to Dr. Patterson’s training in the Webster Technique for pregnancy, he has adopted his style of adjusting to be more gentle for everyone. Dr. Patterson primarily uses Diversified Technique with the Webster Technique. He has also incorporated aspects from the Activator Technique using leg length tests with his hands to identify restrictions with the pelvis (especially the sacrum). He normally uses his Activator for pelvic adjustments, unless he feels mobilizing the joint would better serve you.

After his adjustments, Dr. Patterson massages the muscles to help them relax and to prevent them from further pulling on the bone.

Dr. Patterson has seen many physical ailments and has been able to help with his expertise and knowledge of the body. Depending on your case he may provide you with exercises to do, to help in the healing process and progress your body towards optimal health.

Dr. Patterson has also found that negative energies or emotions can cause the bones to go out of place. He will check to see if there are negative energies contributing to your restricted joint or physical complaint.

Dr.Josef Patterson has been my chiropractor for the last 10 years. I am now 88 years old and have had excruciating pain in the calves of both legs since I was a teenager .I have had this problem that has felt like a mouse chewing on my bones.Since I have been going to him it was been very exciting because he uses a special technique. I have been so blessed to have found him.When my pain comes back, which is not very often, then he'll give me a treatment and the pain goes away.

Highly recommend Patterson! I have been seeing him since 2018 and plan on continuing to see him as long as circumstances allow. One of the only doctors I have felt has had my best interest in mind from the beginning. Many other doctors treat symptoms while Patterson is always aiming for the root cause. Great man and amazing doctor!

I absolutely love Dr. Patterson! He has blessed my life tremendously. I feel like I've had two lifetimes, one before I started getting his help, and one after. He has opened my heart and mind more than I can say. He is one of the most inspiring people I've met and has played a pivotal roll in my healing journey; emotionally and spiritually. Every time I leave his office I walk away feeling so much more grounded and spiritually connected to myself and my Creator. Thank you, Dr. Patterson, for letting the Lord use you to bless my life and so many others as well.

What is energy work?

There are many forms of energy work and too many to count for our purposes to answer this question. Although, Dr. Patterson uses energy work with the basic fact that our body responds to positive and negative stimuli. This is the basis of how applied kinesiology, or muscle testing, works. Through muscle testing we are better able to assess what the body is actually going through and identify treatments that will address the problems’ root cause.

What is it exactly you do?
