Gentle pediatric adjusting
Fingertip pressure — about two ounces — applied to a specific spot. No twisting, no popping.
Our technique
Neurologically-based, gentle, and specific
Neurologically-based chiropractic means we assess how your nervous system is functioning and adapting — then deliver the smallest, most specific adjustment that will help it work better.
The approach
Start with the nervous system
Your nervous system coordinates almost everything: digestion, sleep, immune response, movement, and how you handle stress. When it's locked in a stressed pattern, families feel it in a hundred small ways.
That's why every plan at Full Circle begins with a thorough history and neurological exam rather than a quick crack-and-go visit.

Answers for families
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions parents ask most about how adjustments actually feel.
Is chiropractic safe for my baby?
Yes. Infant adjustments use about the same fingertip pressure you'd use to check a ripe tomato — roughly two ounces. There is no twisting, no popping, and no forceful movement. Most babies stay asleep.
What is Torque Release Technique?
Torque Release Technique is a low-force, instrument-assisted chiropractic technique. A small handheld instrument delivers a precise, gentle impulse to a specific spot, so no manual twisting is needed.
What is the Webster Technique?
Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment of the sacrum and pelvis used during pregnancy to reduce joint restriction and balance the surrounding ligaments and soft tissue.
Will I hear a popping sound?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Many of our adjustments are instrument-based or cranial and make no sound at all. Dr. Shannon matches the technique to the person on the table.
How does Dr. Shannon decide what to adjust?
She uses a detailed history and neurological exam to see how your nervous system is functioning, then adjusts only the specific areas that assessment points to.
