Chiropractic Care
You are likely used to trying treatment approaches that mostly just address your symptoms. ABA Family Chiropractic provides a different approach to chiropractic care. Instead of just treating your symptoms, we look for the root causes of your issues and aim to restore proper function in your spine and extremities. Our team routinely sees patients with pain in multiple areas, especially in the back and neck, and extremities. Dr. Pickens is able to address them all due to a comprehensive system that works so well, that he consistently sees incredible results in only a few visits.
To relieve your pain and restore your health, we not only look at the spine, but we also take into consideration the spine’s effect on the nervous system. We start by taking an in-depth history to ensure we provide the best care possible.
With our use of the Gonstead Method and our philosophy of care in general, you can be sure that we are making well thought out decisions to treat you holistically and successfully.
The Gonstead Method
Dr. Michael Pickens is a practitioner of the Gonstead System of Chiropractic. This unique approach to chiropractic care involves a thorough spinal analysis using five specific steps. By carefully analyzing your spine, he can detect misalignments and loss of movement of your vertebrae, which results in interference with nerve function and ill health. Following his detailed evaluation, Dr. Pickens will provide precise spinal adjustments to restore normal function to your spine and relieve nerve irritation. As nerve irritation and interference are removed, pain is relieved, and normal function can be restored to the organs supplied by those nerves. In this way you can return to optimal health.
The passion Dr. Pickens has for what he does shows in the lengths he has gone to equip himself to best address your needs. Over the years, he has traveled numerous times to the original Gonstead Clinic in Wisconsin to attend seminars. Searching for the best chiropractic system to treat his own extensive spine and extremity joint problems, he has tried and taken training in many different techniques. While accumulating some gold nuggets along the way from most of the techniques, he has never found another system that tops the science, results, and reproducibility of the Gonstead method. As a result, not only does he receive regular Gonstead chiropractic adjustments, so does his entire family.
