Chiropractically speaking, Dr. Zimmerman is versed in many different chiropractic techniques including low force, gentle instrument adjusting. Instrument adjusting techniques include the Activator instrument and the electrically powered Arthrostim instrument. These techniques work extremely well and are very pleasant to receive. They are favorites of the anxious patient who might not like the bending, twisting or cracking of traditional chiropractic. Perfect for everyone, but especially perfect for small children and the elderly with delicate health conditions. Dr. Zimmerman also practices full spine, hands-on traditional chiropractic (the kind with the cracks).

Dr. Zimmerman cares for many pregnant patients and is a certified practitioner of the Webster's Uterine Constraint technique. This soft tissue technique allows the doctor to lessen the tightness of the round ligament which then permits babies in the breech position to move more freely and right themselves to the proper position for childbirth. A highly successful technique. Dr. Zimmerman is also well versed in nutrition for health and wellness.
