Services
Thompson Technique
The Thompson Technique uses precision drop-table adjustments to address full spine misalignments. This method combines comfort with effectiveness through segmented table pieces that assist adjustments. Patients benefit from reduced joint stress and improved spinal mobility through this evidence-based approach.
Webster Technique
Webster Technique specializes in pelvic alignment for pregnant women. This chiropractic method reduces uterine torsion and prepares the body for natural childbirth. Regular adjustments help maintain proper pelvic balance, potentially decreasing labor duration and improving birth outcomes through nervous system optimization.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Our pediatric chiropractic services address developmental needs from infancy through adolescence. Gentle adjustments support nervous system maturation, immune function, and physical growth. We help children achieve better sleep patterns, improved emotional regulation, and enhanced developmental milestones through safe, age-appropriate techniques.
Toggle Recoil Adjustment
Toggle Recoil Adjustment targets upper cervical spine misalignments with quick, controlled thrusts. This technique restores proper motion to the neck region through precise manual contact followed by immediate release. Patients experience improved nerve flow and reduced interference in brain-body communication through this specialized approach.
Full Spine Adjustment
Full spine adjustments address misalignments throughout the entire spinal column. This holistic approach improves overall nervous system function by removing interference at multiple vertebral levels. Patients achieve better posture, enhanced mobility, and systemic health benefits through complete spinal balancing techniques.

Tried to make an appointment just now. The person who answered the most is not necessarily the most professional person to be the first person of contact with prospective patients. It is not difficult to be polite and ask for callback information if the doctor is unavailable. A "give me your contact information. She is busy." doesn't sound like they want new business.

My little one loves Dr. Porter-Fowler. When we leave my daughter can't wait to come back and once we are there she does not want to leave! Great place to bring your entire family! One stop.
