The structure of your spine is intimately connected to the function of your nervous system. The nervous system controls every system of the body including circulatory, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and urinary. Improper spinal alignment can cause interference in the nervous system. Dr. Banks uses a gentle, hands-on approach to adjust the spine to optimize your body’s ability to heal and take pressure off of pinched nerves, improve spinal function, increase range of motion, and soften tight tissues while balancing the nervous system.

Depending on the complaint, an X-ray exam may be taken on your initial visit. Doing so can help Dr. Banks develop the most effective treatment plan suited for you, and also can alert him of any serious spinal condition that may have been left unseen. “To see is to know, to not see is to guess, and we never want to guess with your health!”

Intersegmental traction (IST) is a productive & relaxing tool that we utilize to stimulate blood flow and important acupuncture points on the spine to promote healing. As patients lay on the IST table, the machine rolls up and down the spine similarly to a mechanical foam roller.
