At Peak & Valley Chiropractic in Scottsdale, AZ, we provide evidence-based musculoskeletal care designed to reduce pain, restore joint motion, and improve physical function. Whether you’re dealing with acute injury, chronic pain, or movement restrictions, our approach is grounded in current clinical research and tailored to your specific needs.
Why Chiropractic Care Matters
Musculoskeletal pain and restricted joint movement are among the most common reasons people seek care. Research shows that chiropractic treatment can:
• Improve joint mobility and range of motion
• Reduce pain in the spine and extremities
• Support recovery from sports injuries
• Enhance function in daily and occupational activities
• Help prevent recurrence of certain mechanical pain conditions
We use only evidence-based methods that are supported by peer-reviewed studies and clinical guidelines, ensuring care that is safe, targeted, and measurable.
Our Chiropractic Techniques & Modalities
We select techniques based on your condition, tolerance, and treatment goals:
Diversified Technique - A widely used, research-supported manual adjustment method that improves joint mobility with precise, controlled force.
Drop Table Technique (Thompson Technique) - Utilizes a specialized table with segmented sections that drop slightly during the adjustment, allowing for effective treatment with less overall force.
Flexion Distraction Therapy (Cox Flexion Distraction Technique) - A decompression-based method performed on a specialized table, often used for lumbar injuries, sciatica, and certain cases of spinal stenosis.
Extremity Manipulation - Targeted manual adjustments for joints outside the spine - such as shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles - to restore motion and reduce mechanical stress.
Spinal & Extremity Mobilizations - Low-velocity, passive movements applied to joints to gradually increase range of motion without high-velocity thrusts.
Speeder Board Mobilizations - A technique using a small, spring-loaded board to deliver precise, controlled mobilization to smaller joints or areas requiring minimal force.
