About Non-Force Chiropractic

Non-force chiropractic works with the body to make needed corrections to provide long-lasting relief. Its goal is to stimulate the body to correct itself, therefore fewer visits are needed.

Safe for All Ages — Babies to Seniors

Non-force chiropractic is safe and effective for people of all ages. I personally have treated people ranging in age from 4 days old to 99 years old! Using this technique we are able to make corrections without the twisting “cracking and popping” associated with traditional chiropractic.

Non-force chiropractic is the only chiropractic technique used in my office — I prefer to have this style of treatment on myself!

Non-force chiropractic is a system of diagnosis and treatment that consists of a gentle challenge or test which allows the body itself to indicate irritation and the directions of misalignment of any structure in the body. When a body part is challenged and irritated there is a message sent to the brain that contracts the muscles on one side of the body so that one leg is ½- to ¾-inches shorter (this is referred to as a physiological short leg). A specific thumb thrust in the direction needed is then administered which provides a long-lasting correction to body structures.

X-rays

X-rays are not required for this technique. I rely on the history you give me and the response of your body. However, there are certain situations when X-rays are beneficial. If your case is suggestive of X-rays or other imaging, we will discuss it together.

Other therapies

Other complementary therapies may be incorporated into your chiropractic treatment. This may include the use of supplements or herbs and in some cases Zyto bioscanning, a wellness decision support technology. Learn more about Zyto scanning (.pdf)

Another new technology designed to target and accelerate healing is available to patients as a physical vascular therapy which ties oxygen to tissues to promote healthy circulation.

If you require additional therapies such as physical therapy, therapeutic massage, acupuncture, or lab work, Dr. Sweeney will consider the best suggestions for your particular situation.
