Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors are the only experts trained in the adjustment of the spine and hard tissue. Through treatment, an altered bio-mechanical vertebral chain or joint can be corrected back to optimal functionality.

*These are actual images of Dr. Bracic's many adjusting techniques on existing patients.
People who get better with ​Chiropractic:
  • 90% of lumbar disc patients
  • 94% of acute neck pain patients
  • 85% to 100% of headache sufferers
Dr. Bracic is qualified to diagnose
​and treat patients using:
  • Digital Diagnostic X-ray – Dr. Bracic utilizes a hospital-grade digital x-ray system for diagnosing or screening of a variety of health issues.
  • Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers – Custom-made orthotics can be designed to help reduce pain that originates in the spine. This pain can affect the feet, legs, hips, back and neck.
  • Independent Medical Exam (IME) – Dr. Bracic is a certified medical examiner and can conduct an IME to determine the cause, extent and treatment necessary for an injury where liability is an issue. He is also available to perform Records Review to assess validity of prior IME Exams.

Chiropractic is more effective than medicine for chronic low back pain
There are countless issues that chiropractic care can help with, either as a primary modality of treatment or as a supplement to other treatment programs.

Chiropractic Adjusting Methods
Dr. Bracic is trained in a wide variety of Chiropractic adjusting methods and determines which technique(s) to use based on your unique situation or injury. See the full list below.

FULL SPINE DIVERSIFIED 

This technique focuses on restoring normal biomechanical function through quick, shallow thrusts. It helps create motion in spinal joints.

Gonstead Technique

This technique usually results in joint cavitation (popping noise). It uses X-ray analysis to determine what segments to adjust.

Thompson Drop Table 

A special table with several drop pieces is used to help open the joint during the adjustment. The drop pieces minimize the force required for the adjustment.

COX FLEXION DISTRACTION

This adjustment is done with a special table where the spine is tractioned and flexed forward. It is primarily used to treat cervical and lumbar disc herniations.

EXTREMITY ADJUSTING

Chiropractors will also adjust shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, hips, knees, ankles, feet and toes. It is most commonly done for posture-related problems.

Arthrostim

A gentle, mechanical method of easing the joints back into alignment. Ideal for small children.

SPINAL decompression

A therapy that stretches the spine using a motorized device. The goal is to relieve pain and promote a healing environment for bulging, degenerating or herniated discs. 
These are the most frequently used 'techniques' that Dr. Bracic relies on to correct spinal dysfunction. Each is chosen dependent on the uniqueness of the patient and your condition or injury.

I had an injury at work. I couldn’t walk because I slipped a disc. I came to see Dr. Ivan and in a couple of weeks I started feeling better. I feel more circulation and energy too. Not only did I heal, but I am doing better at work than before!  The therapy and adjustments helped me a lot. I recommend Dr. Ivan and his team.

“I fell on my hip 12 years ago and had terrible hip pain and a limp ever since. Immediately after my first treatment I got off the table and wasn’t limping. Dr. Bracic is amazing, with all the technology that he uses – the adjustment table, massage, electro stim, and laser treatment. I think the laser treatment helped me more than anything and I really encourage everyone to give it a try.”

“My neck was very stiff after my car accident. As soon as I got an adjustment from Dr. Ivan my neck felt looser and I have a much better range of motion side to side and up and down.”
