The Pierce Technique: A Proven Approach to Chiropractic Care
Dr. Phillip Nutter has been practicing the Pierce Technique since 1985. This highly specialized chiropractic method focuses on precise adjustments to address subluxations effectively and provide long-term relief.
Key Features of the Pierce Technique
- Drop Table Adjustments: Adjustments are performed using drop pieces on specialized adjusting tables.
- Prone/Facedown Position: All manipulations are done with the patient in a comfortable, facedown position.
- Trigger Point Therapy: To address soft tissue issues, trigger points are targeted to relieve muscle spasms and hypertonicity.
- No Rotational Movements: Unlike some other techniques, no dramatic turning or rotational adjustments of the head are performed.
Patient-Centered Approach
- X-Ray Analysis: This technique requires x-rays to evaluate spinal motion, identify structural distortions, and locate subluxations.
- Results-Oriented Care: The primary goal is to help patients achieve health and wellness, then release them from scheduled care once optimal results are attained.
About the Pierce Technique
Founded by Dr. Walter Vernon Pierce in the early 1970s, the Pierce Results System is based on analyzing spinal motion to identify areas of restricted function. Dr. Pierce was a world-renowned chiropractor dedicated to developing better methods for achieving outstanding chiropractic outcomes.
Dr. Pierce was instrumental in the development of the Zenith Hy-Lo chiropractic tables, which are still in use today. He traveled globally to teach the technique and emphasized the importance of using x-rays to pinpoint structural distortions and loss of motion. His mission statement, "EXPECT RESULTS!", reflects his dedication to achieving measurable improvements for patients.
