Our modern correction methods are safe, comfortable and highly effective. Dr. Amie B. Gregory, specializes in Diversified Technique, extremity care, Sound Assisted Soft tissue Mobilization (Graston Technique) and full body rehabilitation. She is also affluent in SOT, drop table (Thompson Technique), Activator methods, Upper cervical, Gonstead, pediatric chiropractic techniques (Webster Technique), physical therapy, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular re-education and myofascial techniques.
Each patient is given an individual treatment plan that suits their individual needs. Dr. Gregory’s program will not only alleviate immediate pain, but focus on finding the cause your discomfort. This will enable you to enjoy long-term success and remain living the healthy vibrant life you desire.
At Precise Moves, we provide a holistic and well rounded approach to care. We provide fitness programs, nutritional advice, ergonomic and lifestyle counseling. We are experts in sports injuries, extremity care, soft tissue rehabilitation.
Sports Injury and Extremity Care
Dr. Gregory is the only Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner in San Mateo County. She has completed additional corrective care training set by the Council on Extremity Adjusting. The focus of extremity adjusting and analysis is to make sure the whole body is addressed. We make sure the nervous system and body are functioning throughout and if there is a problem outside of the spine, it can be addressed. Many people have shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle and foot pain that can not always be cured with a spinal adjustment. We want to make sure your whole body is balanced and working properly. This will enable you to achieve total wellness.
Massage
Combining massage with chiropractic treatment programs has been proven to accelerate the healing process and get patients pain free faster. Massage therapy is a natural treatment that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. In addition to soft tissue therapies performed by Dr. Gregory, our office provides private on-site massage therapy that is tailored to treat the patient’s condition. The benefits of massage therapy include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aids in recovery, function and mobility. Areas of training include Swedish relaxation massage, deep tissue, injury treatment, Cranial Sacral Therapy and therapeutic massage.
The New “Graston Technique”: Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (S.A.S.T.M.) (Developed by Dr. Graston)
Dr. Gregory is the only chiropractor to use this progressive therapy in San Mateo county! S.A.S.T.M. is utilized by the Stanford University Athletic Department for their athletes because it gets results. This technique uses specially designed instruments to separate and break down scar tissue that has accumulated in muscles, ligaments and tendons after an injury. Injuries cause acute or chronic pain, inflammation and decreased movement. After the treatment, there is an increase in mobility, cellular activity, fibroblastic activity and an accelerated amount of blood flow to and from the area. This promotes the healing process and allows the tissues to realign in the appropriate manner without knots or adhesions. After receiving this treatment, patients have less pain, improved mobility and are less likely to injure themselves in the future. Great for athletes or anyone with chronic reoccurring injuries!

Orthotics
Foot problems are becoming a real problem. Plantar Fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes, heel spurs and dropped arches are becoming too prevelant today. In order to solve these problems, we can measure the variances in your feet and fit you in the proper orthotic to alleviate present and future problems. Orthotics also alleviate the stress of walking, running, jumping. Orthotic inserts prevent “wear and tear” in your feet, ankles, knees, hips and even your spine. Your feet are important, let us help you take care of them!
The orthotics used in our office utilize an innovative molding technique. Each orthotic molds instantly inside your shoe to create a custom orthotic for your specific needs. We add lifts for feet that are turned out or in which can alleviate various foot, knee and hip problems, improve mobility, and take any unwanted stress off the body.
Cold Laser
Cold Laser speeds up the metabolic process, stimulates cellular activity and restores balance in your body. It is primarily used for reduction of pain and inflammation and does a great job helping to repair painful and dysfunctional areas of injury. Basically, it helps you heal faster without drugs, side effects or the necessity for surgery. Primarily, it is used for acute injuries but works efficiently with chronic problems such as arthritis.
Here is just a sample of what Cold Laser can help with:
Musculoskeletal pain, stenosis, fractures, frozen shoulder, IT Band Syndrome, Shin Splints, Restless Leg Syndrome, Muscle cramps, Migraine headaches, Back and spine conditions, Myofascial trigger points, knee pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Bell’s Palsy, Sprains & Strains, hamstring tears.

Webster Technique
Dr. Larry Webster, Founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association discovered this technique as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function for pregnant mothers. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a high reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position. This technique has been successfully used in women whose babies present transverse and posterior as well. It has also successfully used with twins. We use this technique not only to help the pelvis loosen up by affecting the ligaments which hold the uterus in position, but to keep the mother and baby relaxed throughout pregnancy.
