Treatment Options
Adjustments or spinal manipulation is the minor movement of vertebrae within the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place causing increased pressure on the nerves, muscles and surrounding structures.
Chiropractic adjustments help minimize nerve compression resulting in decrease in inflammation, reduction of pain, improved range of motion and most importantly establishing proper nerve flow throughout the nervous system.
Spinal decompression is a powerful and effective method of treatment for those suffering from disc bulges, herniations, arthritis within the spine or significant amount of nerve pain, impingement, sciatica and other radiating symptoms.
Spinal traction helps decompress vertebral segments creating more space between the joints and vertebra, allowing the vertebra to stretch enough for the discs to slowly recover back to their original place within the spine. This takes pressure off the nerves, relieving a lot of pain or discomfort within the neck and back.
Soft Tissue Therapy entails a combination of massage techniques with myofascial release and trigger point therapy. This is done prior to the adjustment to help relieve the pressure and tension caused by tight muscles, ligaments and tendons.
This technique helps relieve muscular pain, improve blood flow, decrease resistance and improve overall range of motion. It is an essential pre-cursor to the chiropractic adjustment.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an exceptional way to help the body in the healing process. This is accomplished by sending a very small electrical current into the affected soft tissue injury or muscle spasm.
The therapy utilizes this current in an effort to help reduce swelling and release trigger points that may have the muscle locked up. It does this by helping the body to release natural relievers of pain often referred to as endorphins.
This is a great therapy if there is a spasm in a back or neck muscle. It works well in relaxing the muscle and allowing it to return to its normal state rather quickly. Short therapy sessions are excellent at facilitating healing from acute and chronic pain.
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization like Graston or Faktr is a non-invasive technique that uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to identify and treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. These tools are used to help break up scar tissue and areas of muscular or ligamentous tension.
Graston helps relieve tightness, improve flexibility, blood flow and encourage proper functionality of muscle groups, ligaments and tendons.
Therapeutic Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality that helps increase blood circulation, reduce swelling and edema and promote deep tissue healing.
It is an effective treatment therapy for various musculoskeletal conditions such as ligamentous sprains, muscle strains, arthritis, joint pain, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and various other conditions.
RockTape Myofascial Taping helps decompress swelling and inflammation through a microscopic lifting effect underneath the skin and between the many layers. This allows the by-products created by inflammation to be removed more quickly.
Research has shown that RockTape on skin can attenuate muscle fatigue and normalize muscle tone. When someone is injured, fatigued, sick, or inflamed, the symphony of muscle action that normally takes place with great accuracy often falls out of tune. RockTape helps bring dormant muscle back to life and help calm down the overactive muscles.
