Chiropractic Care

Your nervous system controls your cells, organs and tissues. Your brain and body communicate with each other through messages carried by the nerves, which run from your brain through the spinal cord and out to every part of your body.

Your spine is made up of 24 vertebrae that comprise moveable joints that allow you to bend and move. If any of these joints is misaligned or becomes stuck (called a subluxation), it puts pressure on the nerves running through your spine. You can think of it as stepping on a garden hose: even though the water is turned on and running, when you step on the hose, the flow stops. In the same way, a subluxation interferes with the flow of communication between the brain and body.

The result can be pain, loss of mobility or other dysfunction. Chiropractors locate these areas of interference and correct them using chiropractic adjustments. When interference is removed from your nervous system, your entire body can function at a more optimal level.

Our Technique and Care Plan

At Loveland Family Wellness, we offer safe, gentle instrument-assisted adjustments using Activator® Methods. While many chiropractors use the Activator instrument, most don’t follow the entire Activator protocol, which involves a series of leg balance tests to determine when and where to adjust. Dr. Peterson follows the Activator protocol. He also offers drop table adjustments when appropriate. All of our adjustments are gentle and low-force, with no twisting, cracking or popping.

Your care plan will be custom designed to meet your needs, and may include the following:

• Cold laser therapy
• Heat/Ice
• Interferential current
• Flexion distraction
• Percussor
