New ART certification!
Last March, Drs. Steven & Holly Jonas completed an additional ART certification called Active Palpation Technique (APT).
APT is a method of quickly, effectively and accurately diagnosing and isolating soft tissue pathology in asymptomatic and symptomatic presentations. JONAS Chiropractic has elected this technique as a means of isolating as many muscles and nerves as possible for accurate identification of problem areas, so stop in for your treatment today.

Selective Functional Movement Assessment
Last March, Drs. Steven & Holly completed a course in Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), which is a series of seven full-body movement tests designed to assess fundamental patterns of movement. Clinical assessments initiated with a focus on movement patterns allow the Jonases to identify meaningful impairments that seem unrelated to the main musculoskeletal complaint but actually contribute to the associated disability. This method of isolating the problem is known as Regional Interdependence and is the hallmark of SFMA.

New service: The Cox® Technic
JONAS Chiropractic recently began offering the Cox® Technic, which focuses on the lower back. Described by its founder, Dr. James M. Cox, as a marriage of chiropractic principles and the basic tenets of osteopathy, the method makes use of flexion-distraction and decompression to adjust and manipulate the spine to essentially realign it by restoring vertebral joints to their proper physiological relationships of motion. The procedure is gentle, non-surgical and uses no force to help the spine heal properly and keep it as pain free as possible.

JONAS Chiropractic has also added the The Cox Table, the perfect instrument for efficaciously delivering Cox® Technic treatment, to its practice.
