A chiropractic adjustment is also known as spinal manipulation, a manual therapy to reduce pain and correct the body’s alignment for proper functioning. Chiropractic adjustments also complement the traditional medical care that you may receive. Most chiropractic adjustments are performed by hand, but the chiropractor may use different ways, such as tables, activator adjusting tools, laser therapy, y-axis traction strap, etc., for spinal manipulation. Just like hands-on spinal decompression, the Y-strap tool works to decompress the vertebrae by gently stretching the spine. It focuses on adjusting the spine along the Y-axis and is safe and highly effective even if it may appear otherwise overwhelming. People may feel apprehensive initially, but it becomes much easier to adjust once they learn about the tool and its benefits.
Y-strap is a spinal decompression tool that can gently stretch the spine and provide the relief you seek. Before starting the adjustment, the patient’s medical history, family history, signs, or symptoms are evaluated, and the patient can benefit from the Y-strap adjustment. Thorough questions based on the problematic points and their severity are discussed. Then, after a thorough assessment, the patient is provided with all the relevant information regarding the procedure. During the process, the patient lies facing upward on a table, and the Y-strap tool is put at the back of the head, safely at the base of the skull. The strap is secured in the middle near the neck, creating a Y-shape at the top portion of the strap. The top part of the strap acts as a handgrip and is away from the patient’s body. Then, the strap is pulled gently but firmly away from the person’s body to decompress the spine.
Truly doesn't get better than this. Hands down best staff all around. These folks helped me from absolute step 1 after being involved in a car accident. Dr. Edge made me feel at ease with the entire process when no one else seemed to want to answer questions. I could not recommend this place enough!

I have struggled with TMJ pain for a long time. After my first session with Dr. Edge, my pain was reduced. After the second session, my pain was completely gone!

Began working with the Elevation team after my vehicle was struck by another. I had both back and neck pain that they helped to improve. Due to the nature of the injury, pain persists, but between the chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue massage, physical therapy, and accupuncture they were able to bring my pain from a 9/10 all of the time down to a 3-4/10 most of the time. Truly wonderful folks, I'm glad I was able to work with them. It has been 6 months and I'll continue to work with them because they're so great! Thanks Elevation, you are amazing!

Dr. Edge is a great doctor. He was very thorough and got to the root of my issues unlike other docs in the past. Haven’t experienced relief of pain like this before, he simply goes above and beyond. 10/10!
