Chiropractic Care
Your body does a lot. Your chiropractic care should take that into account.
Maybe your neck is always tight. Your low back keeps acting up. Your hips don't move quite like they used to. Or you've gotten so used to that one nagging spot that you barely think about it anymore.
And maybe nothing is particularly wrong. You just want to keep moving and feeling good.
Whatever brings you in, we want to understand the bigger picture.
At A. Butler Chiropractic in Lyndora, PA, we offer personalized chiropractic care for women, families, and active individuals throughout Butler County.
We look at how your joints are moving, where your muscles are holding tension, and what everyday life may be contributing to how you feel.
Because chiropractic care should be about more than the adjustment. It should be about YOU and what YOUR body needs.
We Don't Ignore the Muscles
Your joints and muscles work together. So do we.
One of the things that makes our chiropractic care different is how much attention we give to the muscles.
Because sometimes the spot that hurts isn't the whole problem.
Your low back discomfort may also involve tight hips and glutes. That nagging tension between your shoulder blades could be connected to your neck, shoulders, or chest muscles. And your knee might need us to look at what's happening above and below it.
We look at how everything is working together.
Both Dr. Amber and Dr. Jess have backgrounds in massage therapy, which brings an added understanding of soft tissue and muscle involvement into our chiropractic appointments.
Focused muscle work is frequently incorporated into our adjustments when appropriate. That may mean working through tight muscles, addressing trigger points, or helping surrounding tissues move more comfortably alongside the chiropractic adjustment.
It's not always just about getting the joint moving. Sometimes we also need to address the muscles working around it.
And when your body needs more dedicated muscle work, our massage therapists are right here in the same office.
Chiropractic care. Muscle work. Movement. All considered together, with YOUR body in mind.
Chiropractic Care That Changes With You
Every version of you deserves care.
Your body at 25 isn't necessarily the same body you have at 35, 45, or 65.
And honestly, some weeks it doesn't even feel like the same body you had last Tuesday.
Your needs change. Your activities change. Your responsibilities change. Your care should be able to adapt too.
Women's Chiropractic Care
From everyday neck tension and low back discomfort to the physical demands of motherhood, work, exercise, and aging, we help women understand and support their changing bodies.
You don't need to be pregnant or dealing with a major problem to find a place here.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy changes how your hips, pelvis, back, and surrounding muscles work together. And postpartum brings a whole new set of demands.
We provide individualized prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care, including Webster Technique care with Dr. Amber, to support comfort and movement as your body changes.

Chiropractic Modalities
Some people love a traditional chiropractic adjustment. Some people would rather not hear a single pop. And plenty of people fall somewhere in between. We get it. Our chiropractors use several techniques, allowing us to adjust how care is delivered based on your examination, needs, and comfort level.
Diversified Technique
This is the traditional hands-on chiropractic adjustment many people recognize. It uses a quick, controlled movement to address a restricted joint.
You might hear a popping sound, but that sound isn't required for an adjustment to be useful.
“This technique is highly utilized in our office. Even manual manipulation can be tailored with pressure to keep the patient comfortable.”
Activator Methods
The Activator Method uses a small, handheld, spring-loaded instrument to deliver a quick, controlled adjustment with lighter force than traditional hands-on techniques.
It can be used as the primary adjusting method or alongside other techniques.
Activator is a great option for patients who prefer gentler chiropractic care, including those who are uncomfortable with traditional adjustments or when certain manual techniques may not be appropriate.
“We love this technique for those who cannot tolerate high-velocity adjustments, for those who prefer lighter adjustment styles, and who do not like to be ‘cracked’. It is used most commonly in my office on infants and the elderly.”
Thompson Drop Table Technique
The Thompson Technique is a variation of traditional chiropractic adjusting that uses a specialized table with sections called drop pieces. These sections are raised slightly and drop a fraction of an inch as the chiropractor delivers a controlled adjustment.
The dropping motion helps gently open the joint while assisting the adjustment, allowing us to use less force than some traditional hands-on techniques. You may or may not hear a popping sound, and that's completely normal.
This technique is a great option for patients who prefer a lighter-force adjustment while still receiving hands-on chiropractic care.
“We utilize this technique more frequently for those who do not tolerate side posture adjustments.”
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)
SOT is a gentler chiropractic approach that can use specialized blocks placed beneath the pelvis, along with light-pressure techniques.
This gives us another option for working with the low back, pelvis, and related joint concerns.
You don't have to choose your own technique before you come in.
We can use different methods, or a combination of them, depending on what makes sense for your body that day.
And if you're nervous about getting adjusted, tell us. We want you to be comfortable asking questions.
“In my opinion, this is the gentlest adjustment with the most resounding effects.”
Many of our clients even prefer to blend many of these techniques to adjust to their comfort level!
