STRUCTURAL

     This is the base that addresses the physical components of health. Since Dr. Pigott has her formal training as a Chiropractor, traditional adjusting techniques and therapies are used. 
     At the Healing Arts Center, Dr. Pigott uses low force Chiropractic adjustments to remove vertebral subluxations.  Some of the techniques used are: Thompson drop, activator, Logan basic, flexion distraction, applied kinesology, trigger point therapy....
The individual patient is evaluated to find the most appropriate techniques for them personally.
     Prior to the adjusting, several muscle relaxing techniques are employed to get maximum benefit. In this way we work with the body, and not have to force or use excessive pressure.
     Adjusting the spine is a life saving approach, but when combined with other aspects of the home run formula, the ultimate healing is achieved.
      When the first Chiropractic adjustment was delivered by D.D. Palmer in 1895, the overall state of health at the time, was much better than we experience today.  Harvey Lillard was the deaf man who regained his hearing after his first adjustment. This shows the powerful impact that manipulating the spine can have on health and dis-ease.
      Unfortunately, since our bodies are not as healthy as compared to days gone by, the power of the Chiropractic adjustment is lessened by itself.  Our bodies are filled with processed foods, toxins, depleted of nutrients, and stressed to the max. This greatly diminishes our healing ability.  Correcting spinal misalignments from traumas, accidents, poor posture, lack of exercise....along with addressing other factors such as nutrition, pollutants, and emotional components, is the holistic and most natural form of healing.
