Our Chiropractic Techniques

Chiropractic is an art, a science and a philosophy.

Chiropractic is an art, a science and a philosophy. Therefore you will never see two chiropractors with the same touch. This art is usually delivered using different chiropractic techniques that are tailored to each individual.

Occasionally, we need to mix techniques, or use one or the other. At Grand Falls Chiropractic Wellness Centre we use the mirror image adjusting technique (CBP) combined with the traditional chiropractic adjustments (Diversified Technique) along with Activator/Impulse. The approach used is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience.

Dr. Ouellette and her team are passionate about really listening to members, understanding their health care and relief goals and developing the best individualized plan in order to achieve the best results.

How Will the Adjustment Feel?

Your adjustment is tailored to your specific problem. If you’re in pain, we’ll use our light techniques such as instrument adjusting. We’ll always show you what we’re doing before we do it. Pressure is applied and when the joint releases, air comes out. This pressure being released does not hurt unless the joint is very inflamed. Most people tell us, ‘’I can’t believe I was worried. I can’t believe I waited so long to come in!” Remember, Dr. Ouellette’s own young children receive regular chiropractic care and the many benefits that chiropractic offers.
