Chiropractic Care
We specialize in correcting your body’s misalignments. Our goal is to ensure that your spine and the rest of your body are working harmoniously. To do so, we will help you develop a plan that will require light stretching, some exercise, chiropractic care, and a healthy diet.
Diversified Technique
The goal of the Diversified Technique is to reduce nerve interference. There are no special or unique procedures needed. Patients are assessed using these various mechanisms: history and basic examination (orthopedic and neurologic), palpation, x-ray, leg checks and reflex procedures as well as others.
The procedure involves analyzing the full spine and extremities. The majority of adjustments used in Diversified are manual adjustments, HVLA (high velocity, low amplitude), or long lever manipulations aimed at cavitating the joint and creating an audible release. This sound is known by patients as the “popping” or “cracking” sound associated with adjustments. Some chiropractors utilize specialized equipment such as drop tables or pelvic blocks.
Extremity Adjustment
Manual joint movement for conditions related to the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle as well as maintenance for optimal joint function. Common conditions seen are carpal tunnel, tennis and golfer’s elbow, shoulder tendonitis and rotator cuff injuries, knee pain, plantar fascitis, and heel pain to name a few.
Lifestyle Advice
Our team here at Clearfield Chiropractic Center is dedicated to helping you achieve your long-term health and wellness goals by offering you reliable lifestyle advice.

We address the typical chiropractic issues as well as coach our patients to live a healthier life by looking at the individual as a whole mentally, physically and emotionally.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are many types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons; for example, to reduce stress and anxiety, to relax muscles, to rehabilitate injuries, to reduce pain and to promote overall health and wellness.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is not just for adults. In fact, more and more parents are seeing the many benefits of their children seeing a chiropractor every single day. Some of the benefits are improved sleep, improved behavior and attitude, and improved immune system function. Children encounter many physical stresses in their life that you may not realize. These stresses can cause your child’s spine to have issues in growth and development.
Pre/Postnatal Chiropractic
Here at Clearfield Chiropractic Center, we offer a conservative approach to treating pregnant women. Our prenatal care is gentle and safe. We aim to alleviate the stress and strains of pregnancy while improving comfort for both the mother and baby. We understand the physical changes that come with pregnancy, and we offer relief without using any drugs.
X-Rays
One of the most important elements of chiropractic care is diagnostics. Chiropractic radiology is a tool utilized in care as a diagnostic practice to rule out pathology (such as possible tumor or fracture) and/or an additional aid to determine where to adjust the spine. Chiropractors rely on a variety of diagnostic techniques in order to fully understand what is occurring in the patient’s musculoskeletal system, and how a given treatment intervention could bring about positive results in each patient.
Nutritional Supplements
We offer nutritional supplements to assist the body in healing. Whether you’re looking to add something for general health or for a specific problem, we got it. Most supplements are organic, whole food, GMO and gluten free. Most popular targets of concern are for the nervous system, gut health and repair, inflammation, joint pain, emotional health, and general well being. We promote Innate Choice, ION, Wuji Chlorella, and Ancient Nutrition brands.
PEMF Therapy
Consider this “grounding on steroids”. Many know the earth produces a pulsed electromagnetic field and is required to sustain life, but few forget so do our bodies! PEMF is a form of therapy using a Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field that literally recharges your body. It reduces inflammation and pain while improving mobility usually with one session. PEMF therapy also allows red blood cells to flow freely, enabling them to carry oxygen and nutrients to injured and diseased areas. A typical session takes 15 min. It can be applied to a specific area or general body for wellness. It’s also beneficial to help combat EMF pollution we encounter daily from computers, cell phones and all electronics.
Activator Method
The Activator is the most widely used chiropractic instrument. Studies show improvement with the Activator Method. It also has been compared to other techniques and proven to be just as effective. This means that for many patients an Activator adjustment could very well lead to the same outcome as a manual adjustment. This offers chiropractors and patients an alternative to manual adjusting when it is preferred for clinical reasons.
