Please read the section below if you're curious about understanding the techniques that Dr. Leindecker uses at Crafted Care Chiropractic
Palmer Practice Technique
The Diversified Chiropractic Technique (DCT) is a widely used traditional method that focuses on manipulation to restore proper alignment and improve mobility. It involves high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts (HVLA) applied by hand to specific spinal segments, aiming to correct misalignments (subluxations) that can interfere with the nervous system. This hands-on technique is versatile and effective for treating conditions of the spine or extremities.
Palmer Package Technique
The Thompson Technique, also known as the "Thompson Drop Table Technique," is a method that uses a specialized drop table to assist with spinal adjustments. The table has segments that drop slightly when the chiropractor applies a thrust, allowing for a more precise and controlled adjustment with less force. This technique is designed to correct misalignments (subluxations) in the spine and pelvis, often used for patients with lower back pain, neck pain, or joint dysfunction. The Thompson Technique is gentle, effective, and often preferred by patients seeking a less forceful adjustment.
Palmer Package Technique
The Gonstead Technique is a chiropractic method that focuses on precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) and improve overall spinal health. It involves a thorough assessment, including a detailed history, physical examination, and specific diagnostic tools like X-rays to identify problem areas. The technique emphasizes adjusting the spine with a high level of precision, often using manual pressure to target specific vertebrae. Known for its accuracy and effectiveness, the Gonstead Technique is commonly used to treat back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other musculoskeletal issues. It’s especially valued for its individualized, detailed approach to care.
The Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique is a chiropractic method designed to treat spinal disc issues, particularly in the lower back. It involves gentle, rhythmic stretching and traction of the spine using a specialized table that allows the application of controlled flexion and distraction movements. This technique helps to reduce pressure on spinal discs, relieve nerve irritation, and improve spinal mobility. It is commonly used for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain, offering a non-invasive, gentle approach to spinal care.
The Activator Method is a chiropractic technique that uses a small, handheld instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument to deliver precise, gentle adjustments to the spine and joints. This method applies quick, controlled force to specific areas of the body to correct misalignments (subluxations), improve mobility, and alleviate pain. The Activator Method is known for being low-force and non-invasive, making it a popular choice for patients seeking a gentle alternative to traditional spinal manipulation. It is commonly used to treat conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

Dr. Rob and Rusty are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Dr. Rob has been able to help relieve the majority of the back pain I have had for years. He has given me more relief than any other doctor I have seen in the last 3 years. I couldn't be more grateful for them both!!!

Dr. Rob has been my chiropractor for over 20 years. He is an amazing doctor and a great person. I'm always treated like a friend rather than a patient when I walk through the door. Rustie always has a smile on her beautiful face and a genuine welcome for me. I have introduced my daughters to the wonder of chiropractic care. After just one adjustment by Dr. Rob, they are his patients for life! Thank you Rob & Rustie. You are the best!
