Our Techniques
Expert Methods: Pierce Results System and Webster Technique
At Foundation Chiropractic, our goal is to help families – as many as we can – live their best lives possible through a healthy and strong foundation. Our family chiropractic office in Dublin, OH uses the Pierce Results System and Webster Technique to remove interference and align your spine, giving your body a sturdy base for a healthy life.
Tracking Your Progress With Motion X-Rays and Thermal Imaging
With a focus on your spinal health, we use pre- and post-objective measurements to follow the positive effects of your treatment. We want to do more than just make you feel better; we want to make sure that your body is functioning at its’ optimal level. We want you to be able to see the changes that we are making to ensure you are the strongest and healthiest you can possibly be. Our goal is to remove the true, underlying cause of your pain through structural corrections, allowing you to heal naturally.
Pierce Results System
The Pierce Results System uses video-fluoroscopy (motion X-ray), thermal imaging and drop table adjusting for a very safe, comfortable and effective adjustment. Dr. Marie utilizes the Pierce Results System to evaluate your spine, determining how it moves through what should be normal ranges of motion. Spinal problems are revealed by having you turn and bend in specific ways. We use this thorough biomechanical analysis to make a specific and highly-effective adjustment.
Think of our adjusting instrument as a high-tech reflex hammer that gently moves the bone back into position.

The Instrument
Read More
Our computerized instrument applies a series of “taps” on suspected vertebrae. Using a high-tech “force transducer,” the computer analyzes how the vertebral segment is responding. Think of it as a small reflex hammer; you’ll hear the difference as each segment assumes a more competent position. The computer helps us identify not only where to adjust, but how your body is responding to your adjustment!

The Table
Read More
With the Pierce Results System, it’s also common to use a specialized adjusting table with cushions that “drop” away. This reduces the energy needed to make changes in your neck and pelvis. Drop tables are famous for increasing patient comfort and results, all while allowing us to give an adjustment without any twisting or cracking of the spine.

The Results

Subluxation creates an inflammatory response that can be measured by changes in temperature. Through the Pierce Results System, we’ll monitor your progress and watch for pattern changes along your spine through use of highly-sensitive temperature measuring equipment. As better spinal function returns and nerve interference is reduced, your body’s inborn healing ability will be enhanced, making way for another success story at Foundation Chiropractic!
Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is used to help align the pelvis for expecting mothers. As the due date draws near, most babies assume a head-down position in the mother’s uterus. If the baby hasn’t turned, there is a greater chance of a more difficult breech birth or risky Caesarean intervention.
Subluxations where the sacrum joins the pelvis (hip) may prevent the baby from assuming the best possible position for birth.

Constrained Uterus
Read More
Developed by the late Larry Webster, D.C., the Webster Technique releases stress on the pelvis, relaxing surrounding ligaments and reducing the sacral subluxation to restore more normal function. Sacral subluxation may cause the tightening and twisting of pelvic muscles and ligaments, constraining the uterus. So, we use the Webster Technique to reduce the effects of subluxation and the associated dysfunction of the sacroiliac (SI) joint.
The result: Neurobiomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved, benefiting pregnant mothers or others with sacral subluxations.

Achieving Exceptional Results
Read More
The July/August 2002 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics reports that 82% of chiropractors using the Webster Technique reported success. Sometimes, the associated dysfunction of the SI joint can be reduced with just one adjustment using the technique, though it usually takes 3-10 visits over a period of several weeks.
Because the Webster Technique relies on the inborn intelligence of the mother and baby, there is little risk. The Webster Technique is based on the positive experiences of pregnant patients, the clinical experience of its many practitioners, academic studies on the subject of sacral subluxation and its consequences to proper pelvic function.
Gentle Adjusting
We focus on structural correction in our office using advanced, gentle technology. Prior to an adjustment, we demonstrate to our patients what the experience will be like. There is no twisting or cracking of the spine. Straight or reverse curve necks? Pelvis misaligned? Whatever it is, we’ll help you correct it so you can get back to normal. We’ll show you ‘before’ and ‘after’ X-rays to show you how your body should be and what kind of difference we can make. At Foundation Chiropractic, our advanced technologies help you regain a healthy, strong foundation to health.
