Techniques
Each chiropractor graduates with the same degree: doctorate of chiropractic (D.C.). As in medicine, chiropractors can specialize in many different areas. It is the specialization of the chiropractor that allows for differentiation in the field and best enables him/her to provide the highest level of care.
In addition to practicing most all of the 'standard' chiropractic techniques, Dr. Manison is also certified in some of the most specialized and advanced techniques in the field today.
