Diversified adjusting
- This adjusting involves use of hands to help increase motion, decrease pain, and improve function. It does this by figuratively pressing a reset button for our brain to help reestablish a proper connection with our brains
Extremity adjusting
- Chiropractic can make a large difference on the way our arms and legs move, recognizing changes that need to be made to help you progress and reach your treatment goals.
Evidence Based Education and Practice
- Current research studies have shown results that have changed the way health care is conducted and having the most recent knowledge can help you get the care you deserve.
Activator
- This type of adjustment allows for a little more gentle approach for those that need a softer touch or are nervous about manual/hand adjustments.
Rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation isn't just for post surgery or large trauma. Every time you get hurt or have pain, your body is masking a problem or adapting to avoid pain and rehab helps to get you back.
- Exercise, stretching, and movement patterns can help change those adaptations and can help fix the problem at the source.
Kineseotaping (Rock Tape/KT)
- You may have seen this tape on professional athletes, but not know what is it actually is. It is tape that stretches with the body and doesn't restrict motion like braces or other tapes.
- There are multiple purposes of the tape including: decrease swelling by decompression on the tissue, decrease pain by changing the neurologic feedback to the brain (like rubbing your arm when you get hurt), and improving proprioception (your brain knowing where your body is in space).
Graston Technique (IASTM-instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation)
- This treatment uses a beveled metal tool to work on soft tissue injuries such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
- It helps to bring blood flow to the area of injury and stimulates the body to break up adhesions under the skin to allow the soft tissue to move freely and promote proper healing and movement.
Nutrition Counseling
- In an ever changing world of nutrition, there are various safe and effective basics that can help you in promoting health and healing.
