At Johnstown Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different services we offer in our office.

Chiropractic Care

Dr. Nigus provides advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Nigus has years of training and experience in spinal adjustments. Dr. Nigus is fluent with most adjusting techniques, although he prefers "specific prone". "Specific Prone" is a highly researched, highly effective, non-invasive technique which yeilds excellent results. this technique is extremely gentle and brings us patients from surrounding areas in Northern Colorado who prefer this type of adjusting because they never leave the office feeling sore or "over" adjusted.

Acupuncture

Dr. Nigus prefers to practice acupuncture in two different styles. The first style is through microcurrent. Microcurrent acupuncture is completely painless, conducted through a hand held device, and is just as effective as traditional acupuncture. This technique treats acupuncture points on the surface of the skin through the same current your body has flowing naturally. The second style is traditional acupuncture, where needles are placed in specific areas on the skin depending on the patient's complaint. This style has a longer treatment time than microcurrent, however many of our acupuncture patients prefer this style.

Intersegmental Traction

During this therapy the patient lays face up on a specially designed table designed to lightly seperate the vertebra allowing for better blood flow to the disc in the spine. This therapy also excercises the muscles and ligaments along the spine helping to stablize the bones in the back.

EMS

This therapy, which is not used as often as intersegmental traction, is based on muscle stimulation helping the muscles relax increasing blood circulation.

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace. Dr. Nigus would be happy to perform out of office screenings or lectures, contact our office for more information (970-587-4567).
