Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Chiropractic Services

Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.
Stretching
Manipulation Therapy
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypo-mobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.
Myofascial Therapy
Naturally, we are designed to walk barefoot, which allows the toes to grip the ground as we walk or run through gait. As the toes flex to grip the ground, the muscles that support the arch of the foot engage and strengthen. However, because we spend most of our time walking on hard, flat surfaces we wear footwear that pads and supports our feet but does not allow these muscles to engage. So what takes most of the load, if the musculature is weak? You guessed it, the plantar fascia. This thick, fibrous band becomes overload and small tears occur in the fascia. Scar tissue forms to repair the damage, further constricting the plantar fascia until tension and pain develops, typically at the inside arch toward the foot toward the heel. This condition typically responds well to advanced myofascial therapy (A.R.T.) of the plantar fascia and calf, foot manipulation to restore mobility to the many joints of the foot, followed by strengthening exercises.
Therapeutic Exercise
Low back pain is one of the most common disorders for which patients seek health care. Acute low back pain by nature is usually very sudden in onset and commonly results from activities of daily living as well as recreation and sport activities. Research has revealed that 90 to 95% of acute low back pain is due to musculoskeletal or mechanical dysfunction. 5 to 10% can be secondary to a pathological cause including disc protrusions and herniations. Low back pain, due to mechanical reasons, generally present differently than the less common form of pathological back pain. A detailed history and examination will most often uncover which category of low back pain the patient experiences. If a patient falls into the category of mechanical low back pain, or mild to moderate disc pathology, chiropractic care along with advanced muscular therapy (A.R.T.) and therapeutic exercise can help to resolve this condition.
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture is rooted in eastern philosophy, which uses an acient meridian system for needle placement. Dry Needling is rooted in western medicine, which uses an anatomical model for needle placement. As with any tool sued in medicine, there is overlap among professionals who use the tool. The way the tool is applied is what makes it different from profession to profession.
