Chiropractic Adjustment by Hand
Chiropractic, derived from Greek words meaning “done by hand,” is a holistic approach that emphasizes the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Chiropractors address how the body’s nerves, muscles, and joints function as a whole, recognizing that overall wellness is deeply connected to proper alignment and movement. We focus not only on diagnosing and treating mechanical disorders but also on preventing imbalances that can impact your entire well-being. Chiropractic care improves nervous system function, mobility, and body symmetry by using joint manipulations to restore balance and optimize function throughout the body. It is about more than just relieving pain. Regular chiropractic adjustments can boost your immune system, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality, which contributes to overall wellness.
Chiropractic Adjustment with a Gentle Instrument
This instrument is called an activator. It is used to deliver a quick, low-force impulse to spinal joints with the goal of restoring motion to the targeted joint. It is commonly used when a more gentle approach is needed, especially for children or elderly. It can also be used to small extremities that require a specific direction of impulse.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping supports your muscle function. It is applied to relieve pain, facilitate movement, support muscle function, reduce swelling, and create better postural patterns.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) involves the use of a specifically designed stainless steel tool. The tools are contoured to glide smoothly over different body structures, which enables clinicians to effectively feel areas of scar tissue and fascial restrictions. By rubbing the tool over the injured area, it creates local inflammation that brings new blood to the area, helping the tissue to heal. It is extremely useful on areas of chronic inflammation and tendonitis.
Benefits:
- Decreases overall time of treatment
- Enables faster rehabilitation/recovery
- Reduces need for anti-inflammatory medication
- Resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent
- Continue to remain active
Physical Therapy Exercises
Our approach goes beyond just chiropractic and extends to rehabilitation. We equip you with prevention strategies that can be incorporated into your everyday life. By making proactive choices, you can significantly reduce the risk of injuries before they even occur.
Injury prevention encompasses a range of practices, such as maintaining proper seat positioning at work, using a backpack instead of a messenger bag, and stretching before engaging in strenuous activities. These measures are integrated into every treatment, and longer appointments are available to accommodate them.
Movement Analysis
Proper movement is essential for maintaining athletic performance and avoiding injuries. Imbalances can occur from stiff joints (due to tight muscles), decreased range of motion, and muscular weaknesses. Our bodies are smart, and if one of these problems occurs, it will find a way to compensate in order to attempt to perform at full capacity. This can usually lead to injuries in places further away from the initial onset of pain. Depending on your problem area, movement analysis could involve performing a squat, running, or a yoga pose. This identifies the areas of dysfunction, in order to determine which rehabilitation exercises are best.
