Takes the time to explain each method and offers a seated or side-lying position for most of them.
Chiropractic for older adults
Gentle chiropractic care, explained before we begin
We use low-force, hands-on methods and name each one plainly before we use it. You can ask questions, bring a family member and stop at any time.
Care that goes at your pace
Ridgeline has two offices, in Draper and Sandy. Our doctors use low-force methods, take time to explain them and leave each choice to you. Family members are welcome in the room.
Gentle adjusting
A light, quick movement by hand or with a small hand-held instrument, while you sit or lie on your side.
Posture and movement
Easy exercises and positioning advice you can do in a chair or at home, shown step by step.
Soft-tissue work
Slow, hands-on work on tight muscles, at a pressure you set.
Methods, named plainly
What we do, and how it feels
Hand adjusting
Your doctor places a hand on a joint and gives a short, light movement. It takes little force, and you can ask to sit or lie on your side.
Hand-held instrument
A small spring-loaded tool gives a very light tap to a joint. It suits people who prefer no twisting or stretching.
Flexion-distraction table
A padded table moves in sections while you lie face down, stretching the low back in a slow rhythm.
Joint mobilization
Slow, repeated movement of a joint within its comfortable range, with no quick thrust.
How we work
Your doctor explains first
Before any new method, your doctor tells you what it is, what you may feel and what the risks are, then waits for your yes. If something feels wrong, say so and we stop.
We ask before each new method
