Staten Island Chiropractic Treatment
Depending on your diagnosis, techniques may include light force or full spine techniques, lumbar distraction, activator, roller table, or sacro-occipital technique.
After diagnosis, Dr. DiMaggio will use the Chiropractic techniques that are most appropriate for your condition.
• Cox Technique — a gentle adjusting procedure that works with the body's natural design to aid it in healing properly
• Sacro-Occipital Technique — a technique for normalizing the relationship between the foundation of the spine (sacrum) and the top of the spine (occiput or base of the head)
• Activator Method — an activator is a small handheld, spring-loaded instrument that delivers low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustments to the spine
• Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic — corrects any instability that may be found in the atlanto-occipital joint
• Gonstead Technique — analysis of your spine using five criteria to detect the presence of the vertebral subluxation complex
• Diversified Technique — diversified technique primarily uses the practitioner's hands to make the spinal correction. An audible snap or pop may be heard when the correction is made.
• Pediatric chiropractic techniques — gentler treatment techniques are used for children and for pregnant women.

Digital X-Ray
Dr. DiMaggio uses digital radiography (DR or DX), which uses film-free X-ray image technology to record an X-ray image as a digital file that can be used for diagnosis and then saved as part of your medical record.
