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.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Activator Methods®

This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust... read more»

Diversified

After identifying which spinal bones have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is administered to free up “stuck” joints... read more»

SOT

Sacro Occipital Technique helps normalize the relationship between the pelvis and the head, using gravity to make the necessary correction... read more»

Thompson

Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine... read more»

Gonstead

Named for its developer, we conduct a thorough evaluation using full spine X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for accurate adjustments... read more»

Applied Kinesiology

Testing the strength of various muscles of your body help us find structural, chemical and mental problems revealed by a weak muscle… read more»

Advanced Treatments & Diagnostic Methods

Anderson Physical Medicine offers a wide variety of treatment methods, many of which cannot be found elsewhere in the area. In fact, Anderson Physical Medicine is one of the few places in the Kansas City area to offer Pneumex equipment and protocols for rehabilitating spinal and extra-spinal problems.

Sympathetic Treatment System (STS)

We’re proud to announce a new treatment for Chronic Pain Syndromes. STS was just approved by the FDA. STS has been found to be very effective for treating chronic pain even when all other treatments have failed to produce a long-lasting result.

Interferential Electrotherapy

This therapy is used to reduce pain, muscle spasms and inflammation and to increase circulation to speed the healing process.

Ultrasound-Treatment

Think of ultrasound as a form of cellular massage, which results in sedation of irritated nerves and increased blood flow.

Microwave Diathermy

Dia means through and thermy means heat. Diathermy gets the healing heat into deep injured tissues to promote faster healing.

Therastim

This is an advanced type of electrical stimulation that goes deep into tissues to kill pain and increase joint flexibility when used in combination with rehabilitative exercises.

Intersegmental Traction

This treatment helps to increase spinal flexibility by reducing spinal fixations and adhesions.

Axial Traction

This is used to decompress the spine. It is an excellent means of reducing muscle spasms, spinal curvatures and pressure on discs.

Paraspinal Surface Electromyography

The SEMG directly evaluates the function of the spine and shows the need and results of Chiropractic treatment. It measures the electrical activity of specific muscles.

Diagnostic Ultrasound

This is a safe, low cost, non-invasive method of evaluating soft tissues and gives us immediate feedback.

Pulstar Diagnosis and Treatment

We use a device which produces computerized measurements of tissue compliance to accurately record areas of spinal dysfunction and can be used to correct spinal fixations and malfunctions.

Computerized Postural Analysis

Thanks to this system, we can accurately detect improper spinal curvatures and objectively quantify improvement with appropriate treatment.

Diagnostic X-rays

We use X-rays to evaluate vertebral alignment, pathology, etc. Decompression Traction System Therapy Axial decompression traction for the treatment of herniated discs and/or spinal stenosis in the cervical or lumbar spines.
