Chiropractic adjustments, or spinal manipulations, are the primary treatment for not only back pain but for increased motion and enhanced function. They relieve joint pressure, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function as well. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques, some involving force and twisting while others may use motion or an instrument. Regardless, the goal is to restore joint function which in turn may reduce pain and inflammation. Misaligned vertebrae cause systemic issues in the muscular and central nervous systems. Proper alignment is important for optimal nerve, immune, and cognitive function. Overall, spinal adjustments optimize bodily function with little to no discomfort.

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese medical practice, targets pain relief and overall well-being. By inserting needles into invisible energy channels called meridians that traverse the body, acupuncture promotes balance and unblocks vital energy or chi. We employ not only needles to the body and ears but also utilize both dry and wet cupping, seeds anc microcurrent. Each meridian point holds significance, and through their stimulation, can repair channels and restore equilibrium, hence fostering good health. Acupuncture adopts a holistic perspective, comprehending normal function and disease processes, and emphasizes prevention as much as treatment in order to maintain well-being.

Acupuncture is used to treat over 2,000 of health conditions, such as:

  • Persistent lower back pain
  • Chronic tension­-type headaches and migraines
  • Neck pain
  • Joint pain
  • Postoperative pain
  • Allergies
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Reduction of scar tissue

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is an effective method of reducing pain, swelling, and recovery time for various ailments. Particularly valuable for soft tissue injuries, muscle spasms, and post-workout recovery, EMS has been gaining popularity. The treatment only takes a few minutes. Electrodes are placed on the affected area, and the machine is activated. An electrical current is then transmitted, resulting in small, rapid muscle contractions. Patients may feel tingling or prickling, which subsides after the session. These contractions relieve pain, relax muscles, and stimulate the release of endorphins – our natural pain relievers. EMS also aids in clearing metabolic waste for faster healing.

Interferential Current Therapy (ICT) is a highly effective method for pain relief and accelerating the body’s healing process. It involves the use of electrodes placed on the skin surrounding the affected area. An Interferential Current device is then utilized to transmit small electrical impulses throughout the skin, stimulating the underlying tissue and nerves to initiate healing. Despite being described as a minor prickle, these impulses are not painful. Furthermore, ICT aids in improving blood circulation and expediting recovery by triggering the release of endorphins. Overall, Interferential Current Therapy is a valuable approach to pain relief and promoting healing in the body.

Interferential Current Therapy is used to treat:

  • Circulatory and muscle disorders
  • Stiff joints
  • Joint injuries
  • Edema
  • Inflammation
  • Muscle spasms

Advantages of Interferential Current Therapy include:

  • Reducing or eliminating pain in a safe manner
  • Noticeable decrease in swelling and inflammation
  • Restoring lost movement and improving range­-of­-motion
  • Stimulating the natural hormones which can help the body heal faster

Intersegmental traction is a beneficial therapy that enhances spinal joint mobility by introducing passive motion to the spine. This treatment promotes muscle relaxation to help alleviate muscle spasms. Moreover, intersegmental traction improves blood flow and oxygen supply to discs, ligaments, and muscles, leading to enhanced balance, strength, and mobility. Whether you are a professional athlete, a weedend warrior, or a couch potato, intersegmental traction offers valuable relief.

Kinesio Tape is a therapeutic technique that involves the application of a specialized tape to specific areas of the body. This flexible and elastic tape is designed to provide support and stability to muscles and joints while still allowing for a full range of motion. The tape can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, improve posture, and enhance athletic performance. Kinesio Tape is a non-invasive and effective service that aids in promoting healing and restoring optimal function.

Therapeutic exercises address specific concerns to reduce discomfort and improve physical function. These exercises target flexibility, strength, and endurance related to specific issues. The goal is to restore and enhance overall health and well-being without invasive methods. Whether performed at home or in a clinic, therapeutic exercises aim to improve, restore, and prevent the loss of physical function. By following a customized exercise plan, patients have the power to enhance their quality of life and achieve optimal physical fitness.

 

Dry needling is a technique that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific trigger points in muscles. This therapy aims to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. By targeting tight or knotted muscles, dry needling can effectively release muscle knots and restore proper function. It is a safe and non-invasive procedure that can improve the range of motion and promote overall musculoskeletal health.
