How It Works
The Dr. Coon Approach
Thorough Assessment
Every new patient begins with a comprehensive history and physical examination. Dr. Coon uses both contemporary and traditional assessment methods to understand the full picture of your condition.
Evidence-Based Diagnosis
Drawing on 30+ years of clinical experience and ongoing academic engagement, Dr. Coon applies current research standards to arrive at an accurate, meaningful diagnosis.
Individualized Treatment
No two patients are the same. Your care plan is built around your specific condition, goals, and preferences — selecting from the full range of techniques Dr. Coon is trained in.
Long-Term Wellness
The goal isn't just pain relief — it's lasting function. Dr. Coon works with you on exercise, lifestyle, and maintenance strategies to keep you moving well.
Techniques
Chiropractic Techniques Offered
Dr. Coon is trained in a comprehensive range of techniques — allowing him to match the right approach to each patient's unique condition, preferences, and goals.
Diversified Technique
The foundation of chiropractic care
Diversified encompasses a wide range of specific adjustment techniques. The approach is chosen based on each patient's individual needs and the specific joint being targeted — making it one of the most versatile and widely used methods in chiropractic practice.
Commonly treats
Gonstead Technique
Precision-driven spinal correction
The Gonstead Method focuses on correcting spinal misalignments (subluxations) that interfere with the nervous system. What sets it apart: every adjustment has a predetermined, reproducible intent for correction before treatment is delivered — nothing is left to chance.
Commonly treats
Flexion Distraction
Preferred for disc-related back pain
A gentle, non-invasive technique focused on spinal decompression and improved motion. This is Dr. Coon's preferred method for managing back pain of discogenic origin — particularly effective for herniated discs, sciatica, and lumbar stenosis without high-velocity manipulation.
Commonly treats
Thompson Drop Technique
Precision with reduced force
Uses a specialized adjusting table with drop mechanisms that allow for increased precision, reduced force, and enhanced patient comfort. The drop system improves positioning and ensures consistency and reproducibility across treatments.
Commonly treats
Activator Method
Instrument-assisted, low-force adjusting
Uses a handheld Activator Adjusting Instrument to deliver gentle, low-force adjustments to the spine and other joints. Ideal for patients who prefer a non-manual approach — restores proper alignment and improves joint function without traditional manipulation.
Commonly treats
Extremity Adjusting
Beyond the spine
Chiropractic care extends to the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Using manual adjustments, mobilization techniques, and therapeutic exercises, Dr. Coon addresses musculoskeletal imbalances throughout the entire body.
Commonly treats
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Targeted soft tissue therapy
IASTM uses specialized stainless-steel tools with smooth, beveled edges to apply friction and pressure to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The treatment initiates a graded inflammatory response to promote connective tissue remodeling and accelerate healing.
Commonly treats
Conditions
Conditions We Treat
From acute injuries to chronic conditions, Dr. Coon's evidence-based approach addresses a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal and neuromusculoskeletal conditions — for patients of all ages, from pediatric to geriatric.

The centerpiece of the room — a full-featured table supporting Gonstead, Diversified, Thompson Drop, and extremity adjusting techniques with precise patient positioning.
A dedicated table for the Flexion Distraction technique — Dr. Coon's preferred approach for disc-related back pain, sciatica, and lumbar stenosis. Its gentle, decompressive motion is unlike any other chiropractic method.
A wall-mounted screen running 3D anatomy software lets Dr. Coon walk patients through exactly what's happening in their spine or joints — turning complex diagnoses into clear, visual explanations.
A dedicated shelf of soft tissue instruments, therapeutic supplies, and IASTM tools — ready for myofascial release, connective tissue mobilization, and adjunctive therapies.
For patients who prefer a low-force, instrument-assisted approach, the Activator Adjusting Instrument is always on hand — delivering precise, gentle corrections without manual manipulation.
Framed diplomas and certificates are visible in the room — a quiet reminder of the depth of training and ongoing education behind every treatment decision.
