Pierce Stillwagon Chiropractors

About Pierce-Stillwagon Technique

The Pierce-Stillwagon Technique is a specialized chiropractic system that combines precise spinal analysis, specific X-ray protocols, and instrumented chiropractic adjustment (spinal manipulation) delivery to correct vertebral subluxations (misalignments that affect nerve function) with minimal force and high repeatability. It was developed by Dr. Vernon Pierce and refined with contributions from Dr. William Stillwagon, drawing heavily on upper cervical biomechanics and full-spine postural correction. The approach is recognized for its use of a drop-piece table and a handheld percussion instrument rather than manual thrust for many corrections. Patients who present with <a class="seo-link" href="/conditions/neck-pain">Neck Pain</a>, <a class="seo-link" href="/conditions/headaches">Headaches &amp; Migraines</a>, or <a class="seo-link" href="/conditions/low-back-pain">Low Back Pain</a> are among those most commonly evaluated with this system.
