πŸ”Ž What Is the Pierce Stillwagon Technique?

A modern, precise and powerful approach to chiropractic care

At Aaron Chiropractic Health Center, I use a method that is both deeply rooted in chiropractic principles and highly advanced in its application: the Pierce Stillwagon Technique (PST).

But what is this technique exactly? And why do I trust it to care for the nervous systems of my patients?

Let me take a moment to explain.

🧠 The Philosophy: The Power of the Nervous System

Like all chiropractic approaches, PST is based on a fundamental truth:

Your nervous system controls everything in your body.

From your immune response to your digestion, from muscle movement to emotional balance β€” everything depends on the brain-body connection.

When the spine is misaligned or restricted, it can create nerve interference β€” disrupting this communication and leading to dysfunction, fatigue, pain, or other symptoms.

The Pierce Stillwagon Technique aims to locate and remove this interference, using advanced tools and a deep understanding of spinal biomechanics.

πŸ”¬ What Makes PST Unique?

The PST method was developed by Dr. Vern Pierce and Dr. Walter Stillwagon in the 1970s and 80s, combining traditional chiropractic philosophy with the latest scientific and technological tools of their time.

What sets this technique apart?

βœ… 1. Precision

The Pierce method focuses on analyzing the exact vertebral segment involved and adjusting only what is necessary β€” nothing more, nothing less.

βœ… 2. Speed and Specificity

Using a computerized instrument (I use the Sigma Adjuster) and a specialized Drop Table, the adjustment is:

Fast, to activate neurological pathways Gentle, with no cracking or twisting Accurate, tailored to each patient’s spinal findings

βœ… 3. Objective Analysis

Although the original method used motion X-rays (videofluoroscopy), today we rely on:

Spinal x-rays Palpation and motion testing Postural evaluation All used to determine the most effective, neurologically-driven adjustment.

πŸ’‘ Why I Use the Pierce Stillwagon Technique

Over the years, I’ve seen how targeted, neurologically-focused adjustments produce powerful results β€” often without the need for aggressive manipulation.

The PST method allows me to:

Respect the body’s innate intelligence Adjust with maximum specificity Help the nervous system reset, restore, and self-heal

This is why I use it daily with patients of all ages β€” from athletes to seniors to children β€” always with one goal in mind:

To help your body reconnect with its full potential.

πŸ™Œ Chiropractic, the Natural Reset

When your nervous system works without interference, everything changes:

Your posture improves Your energy increases Your stress response adapts better Your body heals more effectively

And all of that… starts with your spine.

πŸ“ Experience It for Yourself

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, fatigue, poor posture, or you simply want to optimize your health, the Pierce Stillwagon Technique offers a safe, modern and empowering solution.

Let’s bring your body back online β€” and let your nervous system do what it was born to do.

With care and purpose,
