Our Services
-
A chiropractic adjustment is a manual procedure performed by chiropractors to manipulate the spine and musculoskeletal system, aiming to improve joint alignment and function. Using hands or specialized instruments, chiropractors apply controlled force to specific joints, often accompanied by a popping sound. The goal is to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and support overall health by addressing perceived misalignments thought to affect the nervous system.
-
Myofascial release is a therapeutic technique used to address issues related to the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. The fascia can become tight or restricted due to factors like stress, trauma, or inflammation, potentially leading to pain and limited mobility. During myofascial release, a chiropractor applies gentle and sustained pressure, often with their hands, to release tension in the fascia and improve its flexibility. This technique aims to alleviate pain, enhance range of motion, and promote better overall function by addressing the interconnected web of fascia throughout the body. Myofascial release can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as muscle tension, chronic pain, or certain soft tissue injuries.
-
Electro-stimulatory therapy, or electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), involves applying controlled electrical currents through electrodes on the skin to stimulate muscles and nerves. This therapy, often used for rehabilitation, pain management, and muscle strengthening, mimics natural neural signals, causing muscles to contract and relax. It is employed to prevent muscle atrophy, improve blood circulation, and aid in the rehabilitation of injured muscles.
-
Long axis traction is a therapeutic technique used in physical therapy and manual medicine to alleviate joint and spinal compression. It involves applying a gentle, axial pulling force along the length of the spine or limb, aiming to decompress joints, reduce pressure on discs, and create space between vertebrae or joint surfaces. This technique is often employed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and address issues related to spinal or limb compression, promoting a sense of elongation and relaxation in the targeted structures. Long axis traction can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as herniated discs, joint compression, or certain musculoskeletal disorders.
-
Functional rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach to improving an individual's ability to perform everyday activities and tasks. Tailored to address specific functional limitations or musculoskeletal impairments, functional rehab integrates exercises, movements, and activities that mimic real-life scenarios. This form of rehabilitation focuses on enhancing strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination to promote optimal function and independence. Personalized programs are designed that consider the individual's unique needs and goals, aiming to restore or improve their capacity to engage in daily activities with greater ease and efficiency. Functional rehab is often utilized in the recovery from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions, promoting a holistic approach to rehabilitation that goes beyond isolated muscle strengthening to address overall functional capacity.
-
Cox Flexion and Distraction is a chiropractic technique designed to address spinal conditions, particularly in the lower back. During this gentle and non-invasive procedure, the patient lies face down on a specialized table, and the chiropractor applies a combination of hands-on manual adjustments and controlled, rhythmic flexion-distraction movements. The technique involves stretching the spine and creating a pumping action to alleviate pressure on the intervertebral discs, improve spinal alignment, and enhance the mobility of the vertebral joints. Cox Flexion and Distraction is often utilized to manage conditions such as disc herniation, sciatica, and spinal stenosis, aiming to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and support overall spinal health.
