As you progress through the phases of care, we will discuss ways to avoid things that aggravate your condition and may prolong your symptoms. Hobbies and work may play a role in chronic postural strain with poor lifting habits, posture, etc. I love seeing the light bulb lite up over one’s head when we discover a bad habit that was contributing to strain.
Chiropractic will help the mobility and alignment of your spine. Exercise is an important compliment to help rehab, strengthen, and support the spine following your treatments. We have the ability to email your exercise plan with videos to reinforce proper technique.
Our bodies are chemical engines. We like to also discuss supporting the whole body as well as joints with a quality multivitamin and a glucosamine complex to help support healthy joints.
MLS® Laser Therapy
MLS® Laser Therapy is an advanced laser technology that works to eliminate pain and reduce inflammation in the body in a safe, painless, and non-invasive way. This therapy utilizes dual wavelengths of infrared light to penetrate deep into the tissue and stimulate regeneration at the cellular level. There are no known side-effects! Laser therapy is cleared by the FDA and is safe and effective.
ProAdjuster
The ProAdjuster system allows the Doctor to diagnose and record the resistance of the joints, muscles, and tissues to determine the cause of a patient’s discomfort. When in treatment mode, the ProAdjuster sends impulses to the treatment wand to realign vertebrae, release muscle tension and help the patient get relief from their symptoms.
Manual Diversified Adjustments
This is the most commonly used of all chiropractic techniques and is the one most familiar to patients. The diversified adjustment entails a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust that usually results in a cavitation of a joint (quick, shallow thrusts that cause the popping noise often associated with a chiropractic adjustment). As the name implies, the diversified technique can be used to adjust many of the joints in the body.
Flexion Distraction
This technique employs mechanical and hands-on adjustments utilizing a special table on which the spine is tractioned and flexed forward. This technique is primarily used in treating cervical and lumbar disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and sciatica pain. Even for patients that have already had back surgery, Flexion Distraction is a gentle, safe, and controlled treatment option for spinal pain relief.
Activator Method
This technique uses specific protocols to detect spinal subluxation, analyze leg length inequality, identify issues with body mechanics, and test neurological reflexes. The activator instrument is a hand-held tool used to deliver a gentle, fast-thrust, low-force chiropractic adjustment.
Drop Technique
This chiropractic method uses a special table with several segments called drop pieces. These segments are propped up a fraction of an inch so that when the thrust is delivered, the table drops slightly, assisting the thrust while minimizing the force used for the adjustment. Cavitation of the joint may or may not occur.
