Do you have chronic daily pain from arthritis? Do you have a sports injury limiting your ability to play? Do you experience headaches and neck pain with sitting? Do have low back pain after lifting and bending activity? Are you experiencing pain in the elbows and hands with use? Do you have tendonitis in your shoulder from repetitive use? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then chiropractic care may benefit you. Many research studies have shown that chiropractic care is a very effective treatment method to manage all of these conditions and in fact has been shown to be the treatment of choice to be applied before advanced surgical or invasive procedures are considered. Chiropractic Injury Management involves: 1) EVALUATION: A thorough pain history and daily activity history and a neuro-musculoskeletal examination to find the source of pain. Pain can come from joints, muscles, nerves, tendons or ligaments. Proper care requires identifying which structures have been injured. 2) NATURAL MANAGEMENT OF INFLAMMATION To help control inflammation naturally involves a combination of plant botanicals, proteolytic enzymes, therapeutic cold, rest and electro-acupuncture. 3) MANIPULATION TO RESTORE MOVEMENT & BALANCE Manipulation is applied when inflammation processes have reduced and are designed to gently help re-establish full mobility to the injured region. Research has shown that manipulation not only helps to restore mobility but also stimulates a quicker healing response from injury. Many different types of manipulation procedures are used depending on the structures causing pain. Spinal Manipulation for Vertebral Subluxation Complex: The VSC is a condition of the spine which follows an injury and involves a complex of abnormal spinal joint movement, nerve irritation, muscle spasm and tissue degeneration which can lead to a condition of spinal arthritis if not resolved properly. Spinal Inter-Vertebral Decompression manipulation for a condition of Spinal Compression Syndrome, SCS. SCS is a condition of mechanical compression of the spinal facet joints, discs and nerves which commonly develops from poor posture and prolonged periods of sitting or bending. This manipulation involves a gentle traction to each vertebrae to decompress the compressed spinal structures. This helps to reduce pain and prevent the risk of future injury to the spine and a VSC condition of the spine. Extremity Joint Manipulation This manipulation is applied to the extremity joints of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot to help reduce pain, stiffness, lack of mobility, arthritis and injuries to these joints. Soft Tissue Manipulation Soft tissue manipulation is applied to muscles, tendons and ligaments that have been injured to reduce pain, release scar tissue and restore elasticity and movement. 4) NEURO-MUSCULAR RE-EDUCATION OF MOVEMENTS Proprioceptive training to establish balance to posture and movement. 5) REHABILITATION TO STABILIZE AND STRENGTHEN Therapeutic exercises designed to help restore full capacity & body function |
