Chiropractic Adjustments

Manual Joint Manipulation/Mobilization

Your comfort and wellness is our main priority. Different patients tolerate adjustment force differently and we absolutely take that into consideration. Sometimes, a patient with acute injury will require more gentle mobilization of joints, until they gradually become acclimated to treatment and able to handle greater range of joint motion.

  • In 2017, the American College of Physicians released updated low back pain guidelines that recommend first using non-drug treatments, such as spinal manipulation, for acute and chronic low back pain.

  • A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2017supports the use of spinal manipulative therapy as a first line treatment for acute low back pain.

  • 95% of past-year chiropractic users say it’s effective, and 97% of past-year chiropractic users are likely to see a chiropractor if they have neck/back pain.

  • In a consumer survey, chiropractic outperformed all other back pain treatments, including prescription medication, deep-tissue massage, yoga, pilates, and over-the-counter medication therapies.

  • Chiropractors are the highest rated healthcare practitioner for low-back pain treatments above physical therapists (PTs), specialist physician/MD (i.e., neurosurgeons, neurologists, orthopaedic surgeons), and primary care physician/MD (i.e., family or internal medicine).

Massage Therapy

Therapeutic Massage

Muscles play a vital role in joint motion and our ability to move. Muscles are also a key component of joint stability. Massage therapy is a valuable tool to help heal soft tissue injury and massage also provides relief from the pain associated with soft tissue injury.

Acupuncture

Physical Therapy Modalities

Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is another great tool for rehabilitating soft tissue injuries. EMS has been shown to improve healing time by increasing blood flow to injured tissue. EMS is also beneficial as a means of reducing pain.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is the introduction of ultrasonic sound waves to tissues. The sound waves pass through the skin and cause vibration of the local tissues. This vibration has been shown to increase tissue relaxation, local blood flow, and scar tissue breakdown. The effect of the increase in local blood flow can be used to help reduce local swelling and/or chronic inflammation.

Active Care

Rehabilitative Stretches and Exercises

Depending on the stage of healing, there is nothing that gets results quite like active care. Typically, as a patient progresses and pain levels decrease, the treatment plan begins to incorporate stretches and exercises. This is beneficial because it generally speeds healing and active care decreases reliance on passive care.
