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.

  I saw them for energy work. It was exactly what I had hoped! They guided me very kindly and respectfully toward healing emotionally, and also physically. I feel a lot lighter, and so happy that I know how to move forward. :)

  Dr. Patterson is the best! I've been able to find healing at his clinic better and faster than at any other place. He really knows his stuff, and he cares about his patients. Anytime I'm experiencing any issue, he looks for the root cause and helps me find real healing. He helped me with my thyroid, he helped me emotionally, and when I got pregnant he helped me with any pesky symptom I experienced. My pregnancy has been practically symptom free. It's been amazing. I can't reccomended him enough!

  We love Dr Patterson! My daughters and I are all patients of his and he has not only helped us with basic chiropractic adjustments, but with anything that is bothering us: aches, pains, anxiety, emotions, frustrations…. It’s all linked. We look forward to each visit and the healing we receive.

  Dr. Patterson has helped my family in so many remarkable ways. Myself, my husband, and my 3 young children have been seeing him for the past 6 months and will continue to do so. He is so knowledgeable, and has the most calming energy that makes everyone feel so at ease. I love that he gives us simple tools to use at home to keep us progressing on our healing journey! We are so grateful to have found Dr. Patterson and would recommend him to everyone. My grandma is now going to him as well and was astounded at the improvements she saw after just one visit!

  Dr. Patterson is more knowledgeable about the human body and healing than any other doctor I know. I can tell him anything and he actually listens to me. I've been to countless doctors that ignore my symptoms, treat me like I'm crazy, and only offer me pain killers. He has helped me find the root cause of my problems, and has offered me treatments that actually work. He has helped me work through severe trauma, spiritual crisis, and chronic pain. I know that I'm one of his hardest patients, but he is so patient and encouraging with me, and hasn't given up on me like so many others have. He is extremely intuitive and always seems to know what I need. He is so good with children and my kids absolutely adore him. He has blessed our lives in so many ways.

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?

The spine, if you will, of what Dr. Patterson does stems from releasing emotions and other energetic imbalances through the use of the Emotion Code and the Body Code. This area of energy healing utilizes applied kinesiology to assist in the healing process. From there Dr. Patterson has incorporated other techniques such as the Craniobiotic technique, Morphogenic Field Technique, Nutrition Response Testing, chiropractic adjustments and more.

Could I just get an adjustment?

Yes. Dr. Patterson Is trained in and uses diversified technique along with incorporating activator method principles. His adjusting is lighter than maybe rougher styles as he is certified in the Webster Technique focusing on pregnancy. The Webster Technique can be applied to for both males and females.

For a returning visit, a structure only appointment is $65.00.
