Not all chiropractors are the same.  Chiropractors employ varying techniques (or treatments) they have learned and chosen to utilize in their practices.  While attending Palmer College of Chiropractic, Dr. Jenkins studied many techniques with a special emphasis on the Atlas Orthogonal Technique and other low force adjusting techniques.

Below is a list of various treatment options available at Jenkins Chiropractic. 

	Palmer Technique. Dr. D. D. Palmer was the founder of chiropractic.  With his son, Dr. B.J. Palmer, often referred to as the developer of chiropractic for his life long research in the field, started the first chiropractic college in the world, Palmer School of Chiropractic later to be called Palmer College of Chiropractic (PCC).  Palmer College, the fountainhead of chiropractic, continues to lead the profession in excellence.  Click here to visit the PCC website.
	Impulse Adjusting Technique. The Impulse Adjusting Instrument provides a gentle and specific chiropractic adjustment.  The speed of the gentle thrust allows Dr. Jenkins to adjust the spine faster than the body’s ability to tighten up and resist the adjustment.  Click here to visit the Impulse Adjusting Instrument website.
	Activator Methods Chiropractic uses the Activator Adjusting Instrument to give consistent low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustments.  Over 31,000 doctors have been trained in Activator Methods, making it the most widely used technique worldwide.  Click here to visit the official Activator Methods website.
	Vertebral Distraction Pump. The Vertebral Distraction Pump is a very effective tool for treating spinal disc injuries.  Its focused, gentle, distraction provides great relief to both the disc injury and the pinched nerve often involved in a disc injury.  Click here to view the research on the Vertebral Distraction Pump.
	Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT). This is sometimes called craniosacral therapy, however the S.O.T. work was further developed and specialized by its founder Dr. Major B. DeJarnette.  SOT is a method of normalizing the relationship between the foundation of the spine (sacrum) and the top of the spine (occiput or base of the head).  Click here to visit the SOT website.
	Cox Flexion-Distraction has been shown to be very effective in treating low back pain, including lumbar disc bulges and herniations.  It is a gentle, non-force adjusting procedure which works with the body's natural design to aid it in healing properly.  Click here to visit the official Cox Technique website.
	Anodyne Monochromatic Infrared Therapy. Once again Dr. Jenkins is the only doctor in the Sacramento Valley to offer this innovative therapy.  Anodyne Therapy reduces pain and speeds healing of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries and chronic conditions such as bursitis, arthritis, tendonitis, fractures, and neuropathic pain.  This therapy has been used by doctors of various disciplines and is even used by multiple players of the Denver Broncos to help speed their recovery time from injuries.  Click here to visit the official Anodyne website.
