When back pain occurs, there is more than just a skeletal component. That is why soft tissue techniques are employed at Groves Family Chiropractic. Dr. Groves is proficient in the Receptor-Tonus Technique. This technique, commonly known as Nimmo technique, was developed by Dr. Raymond Nimmo of Granbury, Texas. His scientific explanation of the principles involved in the development of myofascial pain syndromes, which resulted in spinal subluxations, brought the chiropractic community to understand how normal reflex arcs transition into patho-physiological reflex arcs. Dr. Nimmo developed a precise system of analysis and techniques to break those vicious cycles.
