Palmer Package

The Palmer Package is a collection of trusted manual adjustment techniques taught at Palmer College of Chiropractic. These hands-on methods help correct spinal misalignments, reduce nerve interference, and restore natural body function. This technique is ideal for patients who prefer traditional chiropractic adjustments.

Thompson Drop Technique

This gentle approach uses a special drop table that enhances the effectiveness of spinal adjustments with minimal force. The drop sections assist in realigning the spine while providing a more comfortable experience—especially beneficial for elderly patients, individuals new to chiropractic, or those with sensitive joints.

Percussor Therapy

The Erchonia Percussor is a handheld device that delivers rhythmic, therapeutic vibrations through a soft “Galvanic Wave” head. This therapy helps to loosen tight muscles, reduce tension, and improve circulation, making it a valuable complement to spinal adjustments. It is gentle, effective, and well-tolerated by patients of all ages.

Athrostim Device

For patients who may not be comfortable with traditional manual adjustments, Dr. Serpentelli uses The Adjustor™, a handheld device that delivers 12–14 rapid, low-force thrusts per second. This allows for highly targeted, gentle corrections without the popping or cracking often associated with manual techniques.

Ideal for:

  • Seniors and those with osteoporosis
  • Patients experiencing acute pain
  • Individuals sensitive to touch or pressure
  • Extremity adjustments (shoulders, elbows, knees, wrists, ankles)

Compassionate, Custom Chiropractic Care

Dr. Serpentelli believes in providing every patient with the most appropriate and comfortable treatment available. Each care plan is personalized based on your condition, health goals, and preferences. Whether you need precise manual adjustments or gentle instrument-based therapy, you can count on expert, compassionate care every step of the way.
