CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS

Chiropractic treatments address the Neuromusculoskeletal System in a Holistic manner. Many common problems are caused by dysfunction in the muscles, joints and/or nerves. Chiropractic Doctors are trained to analyze the relationship between these elements to alleviate their patients' current pain as well as preventing more from developing.

Did you know that Chiropractors treat more than just spines? They can help with a variety of problems that can cause joint and muscle pain from your neck to your toes.​ Treatments always include an assessment and a hands-on approach. Chiropractors use modalities such as Interferential Current or Laser Therapy, and Manual Adjustments when appropriate. For those who are uncomfortable with or not candidates for Manual Adjustments, there are other options such as: Instrument Adjusting (Activator Tool) or Gentle Mobilizations to achieve proper spinal motion and release. Chiropractors often prescribe exercises for patients to do at home to maintain the progress made during appointments.

CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Your feet are the foundation of your body, and when your foundation is unstable, it effects everything else. Many people don't have enough support for their feet, known as Hyperpronation. This causes stress on the knees, the hips and low back - and has even been implicated in upper back and neck issues. Orthotics are a simple way to correct problems like this. Orthotics are custom fit to your foot, to provide you with the exact correction that you need. Ideally, you barely notice your orthotics. In fact, the only thing you should notice is that you feel better! Most insurance plans cover a portion or all of the cost of new orthotics. Orthotics should be replaced every two years, as both your feet and symptoms change over time.

LASER THERAPY
Laser therapy uses focused light to stimulate a process called Photobiomodulation which decreases both pain and inflammation. Our Chiropractors use both a "Cold Laser" (the Class IIIb Low Level Laser Therapy from Bioflex), and a "Hot Laser" (the Class IV Laser from LiteCure). These different Laser Therapies have different properties and our Chiropractors will find which works best for you. One of the biggest advantages to our newer Class IV Laser is the time needed to provide an effective treatment as it is more powerful and efficient.
