Chiropractic Care

What we offer

ChiroPractic Care

Gonstead Approach | The Gonstead chiropractic approach is known for its attention to detail, specificity, and a comprehensive evaluation process. It is focused on providing individualized care to address the unique needs of each patient. The Gonstead approach emphasizes a thorough evaluation and precise adjustment of the spine to restore proper alignment and function.

Activator Method | The Activator instrument allows chiropractors to apply a low-force adjustment to the identified subluxation. The device delivers a quick and controlled impulse, targeting the specific area of concern. The force can be adjusted based on the patient's comfort and needs.

Diversified Approach | Diversified chiropractors primarily use manual adjustment techniques to address subluxations and joint dysfunctions. These adjustments typically involve applying controlled and specific forces by hand to targeted areas of the spine or other joints. The goal is to restore normal joint motion, enhance spinal alignment, and optimize nervous system function.

Thompson Technique | The Thompson Technique is known for its gentle and comfortable adjustments. The chiropractor applies a specific force to the targeted joint, usually using a quick thrust with their hands or a small handheld instrument. The drop sections of the table help enhance the precision and effectiveness of the adjustment, while reducing the force required.

Arthrostim Method | It is a type of mechanical adjusting device that delivers rapid and controlled thrusts to specific areas of the spine or joints. The Arthrostim instrument utilizes a small rubber-tipped stylus that delivers multiple percussions per second, creating a gentle tapping or pulsating sensation. Chiropractors may use the Arthrostim to deliver targeted adjustments with precision, aiming to restore proper joint function, alleviate pain, and promote overall spinal health.

Electro muscle stem

We use EMS in combination with other treatments, such as manual therapies, exercises, or stretching, to create a comprehensive approach to patient care. The settings and parameters of EMS, including the intensity, frequency, and duration of the electrical currents, are adjusted based on the individual's condition, tolerance, and treatment goals.

UltraSound

Ultrasound therapy can help alleviate pain in injured or inflamed areas. The high-frequency sound waves produced by the ultrasound machine generate heat deep within the tissues. This heat increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, and promotes healing, leading to pain relief.

Physical Modalities

Physical modalities in chiropractic refer to therapeutic interventions and techniques that complement chiropractic adjustments. These modalities are aimed at providing pain relief, reducing inflammation, promoting healing, improving mobility, and enhancing overall well-being.

Traction

We use traction tables designed specifically for spinal decompression. These tables allow the patient to lie down comfortably while the table mechanically applies traction forces to the spine. Our traction tables have adjustable settings, allowing the chiropractor to customize the treatment based on the patient's condition.

Interferential Therapy

Interferential therapy is primarily used for pain relief. It can help reduce both acute and chronic pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. The electrical currents produced by the interferential therapy device interfere with pain signals, helping to block or reduce their transmission to the brain. This can result in temporary pain relief and improved comfort.

XrAys

X-rays in a chiropractic office are used primarily for diagnostic purposes, helping chiropractors gather critical information to develop an accurate diagnosis and create an effective treatment plan tailored to each patient's specific needs.

g-5

The G-5 massager is designed to provide deep tissue massage and vibratory stimulation to the muscles and soft tissues. Chiropractors may use the G-5 to target specific areas of tension or muscle tightness, applying the device directly to the skin or through a thin barrier like a towel or clothing.

How we can Help

  • A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck and upper back. When bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be affected, producing a throbbing headache. Specific adjustments can help correct mechanical restrictions in the cervical spine that may be related to headache symptoms.

  • Sciatica, like other health problems that can be traced to the spine, often respond dramatically to the restoration of normal spinal function through conservative chiropractic care. Our approach uses carefully directed and controlled pressure to remove the interference from spinal structures. Adjustments can be quite effective in reducing nerve irritation and its associated pain.

  • A subluxation describes what happens when spinal bones lose their normal motion or position from stress, trauma or chemical imbalances. This can be caused by automobile collisions, improper lifting, drugs, alcohol, emotional stress, chemical imbalances, and long periods of sitting.

    Chiropractic care focuses on detecting, reducing, and correcting subluxation.

  • Many patients with neck pain have lost the normal forward curve in the neck. This can affect the brain stem and spinal cord. With improved structure and function, neck pain often diminishes or totally disappears, without addictive drugs or harmful side effects.

  • Collision related injuries are often called a “whiplash.” The resulting instability of the spine and soft tissues can contribute to headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulders, arms and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and low back problems. Symptoms may not appear until weeks or even months later.

    After a thorough case history and examination, we will recommend a series of visits to help restore proper motion and position of spinal bones. If caught early enough, inflammation can be reduced and scar tissue can often be minimalized.

  • Since discs have a very poor blood supply, they also depend upon the circulation of joint fluids to bring in nutrients and expel waste. If a spinal joint loses its normal motion and this pumping action is impaired, the health of the disc deteriorates. Because they are attached to vertebrae, discs do not slip, but they do tear, bulge, herniate, prolapse and desiccate.

    The chiropractic approach to disc problems is to help restore better motion and position to the spinal joints. Besides reducing disc bulging, better function helps decrease inflammation so the slow process of healing the surrounding soft tissues can begin.
