Chiropractic Techniques
Our expertise includes
Diversified Technique
The Diversified Technique is a widely practiced chiropractic adjustment method. It involves a high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust applied to specific joint segments that are restricted or misaligned. Using precise hand movements, the chiropractic doctor delivers a quick and controlled force to the affected area, with the aim of restoring normal joint motion and alignment. This technique is commonly used to treat various conditions, including neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal issues, helping to improve mobility and alleviate discomfort.
Flexion Distraction Technique
A chiropractic technique utilizing a specialized chiropractic tables in which contain distraction and flexion functions. The pelvic and cervical pieces allow the actions of flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and long axis distraction. This technique can be used in the treatment of conditions such as: herniated discs, spinal stenosis, post-surgical cases, facet joint dysfunction, and radiculopathies.
Thomson Drop Technique
This chiropractic technique utilizes a specialized table equipped with segmental drop pieces in the cervical, thoracic, and pelvic regions. By using these drop segments, the chiropractor performs a low-velocity, high-amplitude thrust, aided by the motion of the table, to restore joint function and mobility. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate traditional Diversified Technique adjustments or those who prefer a gentler, less aggressive treatment method.
Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a chiropractic method designed specifically for pregnant patients to help maintain pelvic balance and alignment in preparation for childbirth. This technique involves a thorough assessment of the pelvis, adjustments to the sacrum, muscle stretching, and the application of precise pressure to the round ligament.
Activator Method Technique
The Activator Method is a chiropractic technique that uses a spring-loaded, handheld mechanical instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. This tool allows chiropractors to deliver a quick, low-force impulse to specific points on the body, providing precise and gentle adjustments.
Myofascial Release Technique
This technique involves applying pressure to muscles with the hands or fingers, aimed at reducing muscle adhesions and breaking down scar tissue. The doctor may apply the pressure either statically or in combination with active or passive movement of the targeted muscle.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
This technique uses stainless steel instruments to reduce muscle adhesions and break down scar tissue. It is especially beneficial for treating tissues around areas targeted for chiropractic adjustments and can also aid in the healing of post-surgical scar tissue.
Electrical Stimulation( E-Stim)
This therapy includes the use of interferential current (IFC), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and Russian stimulation. The application of electrical stimulation is effective in reducing acute pain, managing chronic pain, and decreasing edema and inflammation.
Heat Therapy (Thermotherapy)
Heat therapy, also known as thermotherapy, involves the application of heat to specific areas to treat damaged muscles, joints, or tissues. Its primary purpose is to alleviate persistent pain caused by muscle stiffness, sensitivity, and cramping, promoting relaxation and healing.
Kinesiotape Method
Kinesiology tape is a versatile tool in both rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement. Unlike traditional rigid tapes, kinesiology tape supports muscles and joints while allowing for a full range of motion due to its elasticity. This stretchiness makes it ideal for reducing pain, improving circulation, and promoting natural movement patterns during recovery or activity. It's commonly applied to relieve swelling, inflammation, and muscle strain, offering a dynamic form of support compared to stiffer tapes, which limit movement and are typically used for immobilization following injuries.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a therapeutic practice used in many traditional cultures to support healing. It has been employed holistically for centuries to treat various conditions and has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among Western healthcare professionals for addressing musculoskeletal injuries, a technique now referred to as "myofascial decompression." The practice involves applying suction, which decompresses soft tissues. This decompression creates space between the skin and muscles, helping to relax muscles, improve blood circulation, promote tissue repair, and alleviate musculoskeletal pain.
