Our
chiropractic therapies
include:
- Spinal
manipulation
or "adjustments" to
return individual
vertebrae
to their
proper position
and motion.
A chiropractor
can restore
the misaligned
vertebrae
to their
proper position
in the spinal
column by
applying
manual force
or thrust
in a specific
direction
and location.
- Massage
therapy-
a manipulation
of the soft
tissues of
the body
for therapeutic
purposes.
It uses a
system of
strokes that
include gliding,
kneading,
friction,
pressure,
tapping and
vibrating.
In addition,
massage therapists
may engage
in active
and passive
movements
of the joints,
use auxiliary
mechanical
devices,
apply heat
and cold
in various
forms, and
instruct
clients on
exercises
to achieve
improved
muscle tone
circulation,
and range
of motion.
Massage therapy
melts away
stress and
tension,
relieving
associated
headaches
and muscular
aches and
pains. Massage
therapy aids
in the healing process
from injury
or over-use,
and is an
excellent
form of preventive
health care.
Its purpose
is to develop,
maintain,
rehabilitate
or augment
physical
function
and relieve
pain.
- Deep Tissue:
releases
the chronic
patterns
of tension
in the body
through slow
strokes and
deep finger
pressure
on the contacted
areas, either
following
or going
across the
grain of
muscles,
tendons and
fascia. It
is called
deep tissue,
because it
also focuses
on the deeper
layers of
muscle tissue.
- Myofasical
Release:
is a form
of bodywork
that is manipulative
in nature
and seeks
to rebalance
the body
by releasing
tension in
the fascia.
Long, stretching
strokes are
utilized
to release
muscular
tension.
- Sports
Massage:
massage therapy
focusing
on muscle
systems relevant
to a particular
sport.
- Myotherapy
or Neuromuscular
Therapy):
applies concentrated
finger pressure
to "trigger
points" (painful
irritated
areas of
spasm and
pain in muscles).
- Physiotherapy:
uses massage,
ultrasound,
electromuscular
stimulation,
traction,
plus hot
and cold
packs to
promote early
injury recovery.
- Cryotherapy-
is the application
of ice, cold
towels, ice
massage or
compresses
with the
intent of
reducing
temperatures
of tissues
directly
on or below
the skin's
surface.
Cooling causes
the blood
vessels to
constrict,
numbs painful
areas and
helps to
relax muscle
spasms. Cryotherapy
helps to
reduce swelling,
inflammation
and muscle
spasms as
well as numbing
the affected
area.
- Diathermy-
is a form of
shortwave elector-magnetic
energy. It
is used to
raise the temperature
of soft tissues
below the skin's
surface. The
Diathermy energy
field passes
through softer
surface tissues
and turns to
heat when reaching
more dense
tissues. The
heat increases
circulation
and helps to
speed the healing
process. It
helps increase
range of motion
and decrease
muscle spasm
by relaxing
muscles and
connective
tissues.
- Superficial
Heat-Heating
pads, hot packs,
hot water bottles,
infrared lamps
and warm moist
towels are
frequently
used to raise
the temperature
of the soft
tissues directly
below the skin.
When heat is
applied to
the surface
of the skin,
the blood vessels
below the surface
dilate and
relax the tissues.
This temporarily
relieves painful
symptoms, increasing
circulation
and relaxing
muscles. This
can be helpful
before and
after treatments
and exercises.
- Electro-Muscle
Stimulation-
is a special
form of electrical
current. It
is administered
at the site
of soft tissue
injuries, such
as muscle injuries,
to block pain.
Low level electrical
current is
induced into
the tissues
to reduce swelling.
Electro-Muscle
Stimulation
helps to strengthen
muscles and
reduces painful
symptoms.
- Ultrasound-
uses high-frequency
sound waves
and it is administered
in the region
of soft tissue
injuries. The
sound waves,
some moving
with a frequency
of 1,000,000
waves per second,
penetrate into
deep into the
tissues. The
vibrations
and heat break
down and disperse
unhealthy calcium
and other hard
tissue accumulations,
speeds metabolism
and improves
blood flow
and reduces
nerve root
irritation.
Customized exercises-
prescribed for
stretching and
strengthening of
the back and/or
neck to promote
stability and help
prevent reoccurrence
of the injury. |
