Dr. Norton utilizes many different techniques to help you achieve your greatest potential. Some of the offerings include:
Activator Methods®

manual (hand) adjusting of the spine or extremity joints. The device is
generally regarded as a softer chiropractic treatment technique.
Arms & Legs
Sometimes it isn’t about your back and/or neck. Sometimes your ankles hurt. Maybe you’ve hurt your knee running or playing with your kids. Sometimes you’ve been using your computer and mouse too much and your wrists, elbows, and shoulders are sore. Any injury to these areas (whether repetitive or due to trauma) is just as important to help as your spinal problems.
Auto Injuries
Most people have one thing on their mind after a car accident their car! However, it’s important to remember that you and your injuries come first. A visit to a chiropractor should always follow an auto injury, as chiropractors are specialists in damage to soft and hard tissue.
