Move better. Heal deeper. Adapt fully.

At Kopek Chiropractic + Wellness, every technique we use is selected with intention - based on how your body moves, how your nervous system functions and what it needs to truly recover and perform.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Instead, we combine precise chiropractic techniques with a functional, whole-body approach to help you restore movement, improve resilience and create lasting change.

Below are the primary techniques we use to support your care - each chosen to meet you where you are and move you forward.


01
Diversified Technique
Hands-On Adjustment

The Diversified Technique is a classic, hands-on chiropractic approach focused on restoring proper joint motion and improving overall function. Using precise, controlled adjustments, this method helps reduce restrictions in the spine and extremities while supporting efficient nervous system communication.

Care begins with a detailed assessment to understand how your body is moving and where dysfunction may be present. Adjustments are then delivered with accuracy and intention to improve mobility, decrease discomfort and restore more natural movement patterns.

This technique is versatile and widely used, making it an effective option for a variety of musculoskeletal concerns.

Commonly used for:

  • Low back discomfort and sciatic irritation

  • Neck tension and restricted motion

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Joint stiffness and mobility limitations

  • Postural imbalances

  • Shoulder, hip and extremity issues


02
Activator Technique
Instrument-Assisted

The Activator Technique utilizes a small handheld instrument to deliver quick, targeted impulses to specific areas of the body. This allows for highly controlled adjustments without the need for manual thrusting.

Because of its gentle nature, this method is well-suited for individuals who prefer a lighter approach or require more precise, low-force care. It is especially helpful for sensitive systems and areas that benefit from minimal force.

Each adjustment is guided by careful assessment to ensure accuracy and consistency, making it a reliable and adaptable technique.

Ideal for:

  • Patients preferring gentle, low-force care

  • Infants, children and older adults

  • Acute or sensitive conditions

  • Individuals new to chiropractic care

  • Extremity adjustments (wrists, ankles, shoulders)


03
Thompson Technique
Drop-Table Adjustment

The Thompson Technique incorporates a specialized drop-table that assists the adjustment. As a gentle thrust is applied, sections of the table release slightly, allowing the joint to move with less force required.

This approach improves comfort while still delivering an effective correction, making it a great option for patients who want a more relaxed adjustment experience.

It is commonly used to address spinal and pelvic imbalances while promoting better alignment and movement efficiency.

Well-suited for:

  • Patients seeking a lower-force adjustment

  • Pelvic and lumbar imbalances

  • Full-spine care

  • Muscle tension or guarding

  • Movement asymmetries


04
Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)
Structural Balance

Sacro-Occipital Technique focuses on the relationship between the base of the spine and the base of the skull, working to restore balance within the structural and neurological systems of the body.

This method often uses supportive blocks placed under the pelvis, allowing gravity and positioning to assist in correcting imbalances in a gentle, non-invasive way.

SOT is especially beneficial for patients who need a more subtle approach while still addressing deeper structural patterns.

Commonly supports:

  • Pelvic and spinal imbalance

  • Chronic tension and low back discomfort

  • Headaches related to structural stress

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Patients preferring non-force techniques


05
Webster Technique
Prenatal Support

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic approach designed to improve pelvic balance and reduce tension within the surrounding muscles and ligaments. It is commonly used during pregnancy to support comfort and optimal biomechanics.

By addressing sacral and pelvic alignment, this technique helps create a more balanced environment for both mother and baby.

It is a gentle, targeted method that integrates seamlessly into prenatal care.

Often used for:

  • Pelvic tension and imbalance

  • Round ligament discomfort

  • Pregnancy-related low back or hip pain

  • Supporting optimal positioning

  • Preparing the body for labor and delivery
