Chiropractic
Chiropractic medicine is a comprehensive health care profession that addresses the wide variety of factors that impact upon human physiology. Chiropractic physicians specialize in natural, non-invasive health care and are trained to use a full range of medical diagnostic tools and a wide array of effective treatment options in patient care. We primarily utilize the Diversified technique for adjusting but are proficient in Gonstead, Thompson Drop, and Activator.
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses a small, acupuncture style needle which is inserted in a contracted or painful knotted muscle to create a local twitch reflex which is both diagnostic and therapeutic. It is the first step in breaking the pain cycle and as research shows, will decrease muscle tightness, reduce irritation, improve flexibility and decrease pain. Most patients report a significant decrease in pain immediately after a session.
Active Release Technique
A.R.T. is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.
Graston
Graston Technique® is an innovative, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to detect and effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, as well as maintain optimal range of motion.
High Intensity Laser Therapy
High Intensity Laser Therapy (Class IV) is an FDA-cleared treatment option that is unique in its ability to penetrate through bone, soft tissue, and muscle to deliver healing light energy to the cells of the body. It is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment approach that treats the underlying cause of pain by actually repairing damaged cells.
RockTape/Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Tape alleviates discomfort and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation, reducing pressure while enabling a more effective flow of blood and lymphatic fluid in and out of the target area.
Cupping Therapy
Traditionally, cupping is most often used in the treatment of pain, particularly when soft tissue restriction is the cause or major contributing factor. We choose to integrate cupping into our practice due to its extraordinary ability to stretch and loosen superficial surgical scarring and fascial restrictions.
