About

Specializing in Directional Non-Force Technique, Laura J. Hershey, DC applies thumb-pressure adjustments that require no spinal cracking or high-velocity thrusts—a method suited for patients with scoliosis, osteoporosis, or severe pain sensitivity. Her Pescadero Avenue office sits blocks from the Sunset Cliffs bluffs, and the low-force protocol works in concert with the manual spine-mobilization approach at Patch Spine Center for patients who benefit from alternating techniques. The method isolates subluxation vectors through a leg-length analysis system, identifying misalignment direction before applying a corrective impulse lighter than the pressure most people would put on their own closed eyelid. Post-adjustment muscle tension responds to the myofascial release and neuromuscular work available at Sunset Cliffs Massage Therapy, a common follow-up in her treatment plans. Multi-region scoliosis cases requiring sequential correction of compensatory curves across cervical, thoracic, and lumbar segments represent the technique's highest-complexity application.
