Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy
With over 200 different chiropractic techniques being performed, a visit to one chiropractor likely will not be identical to the technique performed by another. Both Dr. Palmer and Dr. Gravel perform traditional chiropractic manipulative adjustments and low force, gentle technique options. Our priority is always to make sure the patient is comfortable. Knowing that there are several options for attaining the desired outcome makes Canyon Chiropractic a top choice when seeking care in the community.
Active Release Techniques (ART)
ART is a unique protocol that consists of very precise, targeted movements, most of which are performed by the patient. Each ART session is different and custom-created to treat the patient’s problem depending on the location and severity of the symptoms. Over 500 different hand motions are used by trained ART practitioners to evaluate a patient’s condition, locate areas of tightness that signify tissue damage, and then to help the patient move in a way that releases the affected tissue through “directed tension and very specific movements.”
ART practitioners are commonly chiropractors or other trained health care providers who become qualified by receiving an ART certification. Using this patented formula, Dr. Leahy (the creator of ART) found that he was able to consistently resolve over 90 percent of his patients’ problems naturally. Once the underlying tissue problem is addressed, patients are less likely to experience other injuries going forward and can return to regular preventative practices like exercising, stretching and performing myofascial release.

Graston Technique
Graston Technique® is an innovative, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to detect and effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, as well as maintain optimal range of motion.
Injury Prevention and Functional Movement
Athletes are like well-oiled machines or so they should be! Whether recreational or competitive, athletes put their body through rigorous demands and training to meet the level of performance they desire. Chiropractic assessment, adjustment and rehabilitative exercises can help identify and resolve imbalances in the body to prevent future injuries and improve sport performance and regular daily activities
So what does it mean to MOVE WELL? The functional movement screen eliminates the guessing game and tells you what movement quality really is by measuring seven fundamental movements that are key to daily life. It scores individuals in a simple way to determine if their movement patterns are optimal, acceptable or dysfunctional.
Wellness and Lifestyle Management
The best insurance is good health!
This is why feeding your body the best foods help to keep you feeling your best and allowing the body to function optimally to do as it is supposed to and prevent disease. When the body is not recovering as it should or feeling its best we like to consider the nutritional component of our lifestyle to help our patients reach their desired health goals.
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body in order to determine the underlying causes of ill health. When these are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself in order to attain and maintain more optimum health. Nutrition Response Testing is very precise and scientific.
In medical practice there are two key parts: the diagnosis (identifying and/or naming the “disease” or syndrome) and the treatment (drugs, surgery, etc.). In Nutrition Response Testing we do not diagnose or treat disease—but we also have two parts: the analysis (the assessment of your body’s current health status) and the personalized health improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition).
