What does a chiropractic adjustment with Dr. Foudy actually include?

A standard adjustment visit at Foudy Chiropractic is $90 and bundles five modalities plus hands-on stretching, myofascial release, and the adjustment itself. No upsells. Same price every time.

The five modalities included

1. Modality 1

   Flexion-distraction (Leander cable table)

   Mechanical decompression for the lumbar spine. The table moves the lower body in a controlled rhythm while Dr. Foudy works the spinal segments by hand. Excellent for facet irritation, mild disc issues, and pre-decompression conditioning.

2. Modality 2

   Intersegmental traction / spinellator

   Rollers under the spine that loosen the segments before the adjustment. Most patients find this the most relaxing part of the visit.

3. Modality 3

   Industrial spring vibration platform

   Whole-body vibration for circulation, lymphatic flow, and muscle activation. 5 minutes pre-adjustment primes the soft tissue.

4. Modality 4

   Electric stim and Theragun

   Targeted muscle work. Electric stim for chronic trigger points and stubborn knots. Theragun for the deeper trap and glute work.

5. Modality 5

   Saunders neck traction

   Specifically for cervical radiculopathy (arm pain and numbness). Gentle, gravity-assisted cervical decompression unit.

The adjustment itself

The case decides the technique. A 24-year-old with an acute facet jam gets a different adjustment than a 72-year-old with osteoporosis. And it is not just spines. Hands, feet, wrists, ankles, elbows, knees, shoulders, hips, ribs, and the jaw can all be adjusted when the exam calls for it.

The six techniques Dr. Foudy works with

37 years of practice means a deep toolbox. Dr. Foudy is trained in six named techniques and picks the right one for your spine, not the one he happens to like.

• Diversified

  The classic hands-on adjustment. Specific, controlled, and the one most patients picture when they think of chiropractic.

• Sacral Occipital Technique

  Wedge-shaped pelvic blocks let gravity do the correcting. Gentle enough for patients who cannot tolerate a manual adjustment.

• Cervical Traction

  Gravity-assisted decompression for the neck. The go-to for cervical disc cases and numbness running down the arm.

• Thompson Drop Table

  A segmented table with drop pieces that assist the adjustment, so less force gets the same correction.

• Cox Flexion/Distraction

  A slow, rhythmic stretch-and-release of the lumbar spine on the cable table. The disc patient workhorse.

• Activator Method

  A handheld instrument that delivers a precise, low-force impulse. The answer for nervous patients, kids, and osteoporosis cases.

Patients of all ages

Dr. Foudy sees patients of all ages, from kids to great-grandparents. The gentler techniques (Activator, Sacral Occipital blocking, drop table) mean there is an appropriate adjustment for every spine in the family.
