Benefits |
CHIROPRACTIC CARE |
Manual Manipulations |
Adjustments |
- Gentle, specific, sufficient physical force/ thrust
|
- Restore normal spinal/joint range of motions
- Relieve pain
- Relax muscular tissues
- Improve blood/oxygen flow to the area
- Reduce nerve irritability
- Improve functions
|
Mobilizations |
- Gentle stretching of soft tissues by moving joints through a full range of motions
|
- Increase joint range of motions/ flexibility
- Relax muscular tissues
- Relieve pain
- Improve blood/oxygen flow to the area
- Improve functions
|
Traction (manually with/without traction table) |
- Non-invasive, gentle stretch of muscular tissues or joints
|
- Increase joint range of motions/ flexibility
- Relax muscular tissues
- Relieve pain/ chronic muscular tension
- Improve blood/oxygen flow to the area
- Improve functions
|
Reflex Gun Method |
- Non-invasive, gentle thrust with an applicator
|
- Replaces an adjustment when adjustments are contraindicated (such as patients on chemotherapy or osteoporosis)
- Increase joint range of motions/ flexibility
- Relax muscular tissues
- Relieve pain/ chronic muscular tension
- Improve blood/oxygen flow to the area
- Improve functions
|
Muscle Release Technique(MRT) |
- Manual muscular tissue manipulation
- Breaks down the scar tissue and adhesions which can cause pain, stiffness, and physical dysfunctions
|
- Relieve pain/ chronic muscular tension
- Relax muscular tissues
- Improve blood/oxygen flow to the area
- Improve functions
|
Cross Friction Massage (CFM) |
- Manual muscular tissue manipulation
- Breaks down the scar tissue and adhesions which can cause pain, stiffness, and physical dysfunctions
|
- Relieve pain
- Improve functions
|
Ischemic Compression (IC) |
- Manual muscular tissue manipulation
|
- Relax muscular tissues
- Release toxins
- Improve blood/oxygen flow to the area
- Relieve pain/ chronic muscular tension
|
Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) |
- Very effective muscle relaxation method of dealing with acute tension in soft tissue problems
- Deals with reflex changes due to dysfunction (muscle spasm, spinal fixations, or trigger points)
|
- Reduce muscular spasm that is responsible for a spinal fixation
- Eliminate pain points where a tendon is attached to the periosteum
- Very effective for the acute patient who can hardly tolerate any movement at all
|
Rehabilitation Exercises |
Rehabilitation Exercises/
Patient Education |
- Close doctor’s supervision
- Individually customized
- Doctor’s continual evaluation of progress
- One-on-one training
|
- Achieve maximum level of recovery
- Return to a productive lifestyle
- Restore each injury to its fullest functional capacity as quickly as possible
|
Modalities |
Electrical Stimulation |
- Utilizes electrical currents
- Electrical currents transmit to surrounding muscle tissues
|
- Causes single or group of muscle contractions to help strengthen injured muscles
- Increases blood supply by vasodilation to promote healing
- Decreases pain
- Relaxes tight, tense, knotted or spasmodic muscles
- Decrease inflammation
|
Ultrasound |
- Utilizes high or low frequency sound waves
- Sound waves transmit to surrounding tissues and vasculature causing deep tissue/muscle warming
|
- Promotes tissue relaxation (such as tightness/spasm)
- Causes vasodilation to assist in faster healing
- Relaxes tight, tense, knotted or spasmodic muscles
- Decreases inflammation
|
Ice/ Cold Packs |
- Cold transfers to patient’s skin, muscle, and tissue
- First line of treatment in an acute injury
|
- Causes vasoconstriction to decrease inflammation, pain and swelling
|
Moist Heat Packs |
- Heat transfers to patient’s skin, muscle, and tissue
|
- Relaxes tight, tense, knotted or spasmodic muscles
- Causes vasodilation
