Our 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.

Techniques are taught to chiropractic students during their curriculum so that they can learn to find a way into the body. Think of a technique as a different style. After a student learns to see the body from different aspects they derive their own techniques. 

We utilize a combination of the techniques listed below, because no one technique could meet the needs of every patient. This gives me diversity to take care of people’s individual needs.

Dr. Byrd Asks some important questions of interest to Acworth residents - Chiropractor Acworth Dr. Byrd Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
