Discover Our Chiropractic Techniques for Optimal Health and Well-being!
From spinal adjustments to corrective exercises and instrument-assisted chiropractic techniques, our
Chiropractors provide a personalized approach for optimal health and well-being. Check out some of our most used techniques below.
Spinal Adjustments
Spinal adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustments, are manual techniques performed by chiropractors to manipulate the spine's vertebrae and surrounding structures.
Through controlled and precise force, chiropractors apply pressure to specific areas of the spine to correct misalignments (subluxations), improve spinal function, alleviate pain, and promote overall health and wellness.
Spinal adjustments aim to restore proper joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and facilitate the body's natural healing processes. They are a cornerstone of chiropractic care and are often used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica.
Extremity Manipulating
Extremity manipulation in chiropractic care involves the assessment and adjustment of joints outside of the spine, such as those in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles.
Chiropractors use various techniques to restore proper joint function, reduce pain, and improve mobility in these peripheral joints. Extremity manipulation is often used to complement spinal adjustments and address musculoskeletal issues throughout the body.
Stretching & Corrective Exercises
Stretching and corrective exercises are integral components of chiropractic care aimed at improving flexibility, strength, posture, and overall musculoskeletal function. Here's a breakdown:
➤ Stretching: Chiropractors often prescribe specific stretches to patients to help alleviate muscle tension, improve flexibility, and enhance joint mobility. These stretches may target tight muscles, areas of restricted movement, or regions affected by injury or poor posture. Stretching exercises can help prevent injuries, reduce pain, and optimize the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments.
➤ Corrective Exercises: These exercises are designed to address underlying musculoskeletal imbalances, weaknesses, or dysfunctions identified during chiropractic assessment. They target specific muscle groups or movement patterns to improve stability, balance, and coordination. Corrective exercises aim to retrain muscles, joints, and neuromuscular pathways to support proper alignment and function, ultimately reducing pain and preventing future injuries.
Our Chiropractors tailor stretching and corrective exercise programs to each patient's individual needs, health goals, and condition severity. Consistent practice of these exercises, along with chiropractic adjustments and other therapeutic interventions, can promote long-term musculoskeletal health and overall well-being.
The VP-1 Variable Percussor
The Variable
Percussor is a hand-held mechanical adjustment device with a unique action that
can be used to reduce muscle spasms, increase circulation, release fascia
restrictions, drain the lymphatic system and more.
Using
the proper knowledge and application, our doctors are able to use percussion
techniques for correction of the fascial system, adhesion and scar tissue
release, trigger point therapy, spinal correction, cranial correction and
visceral manipulation.
Whether the pain is being experienced in the jaw, extremities (arms and legs) or the feet, the percussion techniques can help to alleviate pain and restore proper function.
Vibration Plates
A vibration plate or "power plate" is a machine you stand on while it sends high-speed vibrations through your whole body. Designed to stimulate your muscles at a much higher rate than normal, it is a very efficient way to strengthen and tone.
In our office we use these plates as a means to increase circulation, reduce joint paint, increase flexibility and range of motion, and improve balance.
