Our Services

At Johnson Chiropractic & Holistic Health Center, we take great pride in providing the safest, and most effective chiropractic care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Columbia, MO Clinic.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Spinal joints can often become "locked up" and misaligned from their proper position.  This condition is called Spinal Subluxation, and can lead to pain, muscle tightness, reduced motion, and nerve irritation.  Chiropractors, like Dr. Kody Johnson, locate and remove Spinal Subluxations with Adjustments. This is a skilled procedure that restores the normal alignment and motion to the body's joints, which takes pressure off your nerves.  Over time, Chiropractic Adjustments reduce pain, improve motion, and optimize health and well-being.  Chiropractors, are the only type of doctor that are trained to diagnose and treat Subluxations.  Dr. Johnson performs the following chiropractic adjusting techniques:

• Palmer-Gonstead
• Diversified
• Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)
• Low-Force Thompson-Drop Technique
• Activator
• Chiropractic Biophysics
