THE PROBLEM

Most Chiropractors Adjust Without Knowing What They’re Adjusting

Other Chiropractors

  1. 1X-ray
  2. 2PostureRay Analysis
  3. 3Diagnosis
  4. 4Adjustment

“How are you feeling today?” is a customer service question. It isn’t a diagnostic one.

Most practices in Huntington Beach and Orange County adjust from touch and symptoms alone. No imaging. No objective baseline. The symptom might ease for a while, but the underlying problem never actually gets measured.

How We Do It Differently

  1. 1X-ray
  2. 2PostureRay Analysis
  3. 3Diagnosis
  4. 4Adjustment

Dr. Michael VanDerschelden, DC works differently. Every new patient starts with digital X-rays and PostureRay analysis. He knows exactly what he’s adjusting — and so do you.

OUR SYSTEM

One Service. Built Around Your Findings.

Huntington Beach Chiropractic offers one thing: chiropractic adjustments, built from your own X-ray and posture findings.

Every adjustment is tailored to what your body needs that day. Full-body work. Extremity adjusting. Whatever your findings call for. Nothing here is one-size-fits-all.

Two proprietary techniques take it further. The Y-Strap delivers a precise, controlled moment of spinal decompression. The Magic Hug releases tension at the base of the skull — from a standing position, unlike most adjustments patients have felt before.

  • 01

    Digital X-Ray & Posture Analysis

    Every new patient starts here — objective imaging, not a guess from touch and symptoms alone.

  • 02

    Objective Findings & Care Plan

    Your X-ray and posture findings shape a structured plan built for your body, not a template.

  • 03

    Y-Strap & Magic Hug Adjustment

    Two proprietary techniques — precise spinal decompression and standing occipital release.

We don’t chase pain, either. A complaint in your back doesn’t mean we only look at your back. We check your whole body for restrictions feeding the problem.

Not sure where your pain fits?

Progress isn’t measured by how you feel on a Tuesday. It’s measured by re-examination — documented, before-and-after X-ray and posture comparisons.

This Practice Isn’t For Everyone

This model isn’t for everyone. That’s by design.

  • Looking for a quick adjustment with no exam? Our process starts with X-rays and posture analysis every time.
  • Expecting one visit to fix months of dysfunction? We don’t promise relief from a single session.
  • Want to skip the X-rays? The care plan is built from that data. Skipping it isn’t part of this model.

If that sounds like a lot, we’re probably not your practice. If it sounds like what’s been missing, you’re in the right place.
