Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic adjustment is a therapeutic procedure utilized by chiropractors to improve alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, especially the spine, thereby facilitating the body’s natural healing processes. Various techniques are employed in chiropractic adjustment, including:

  • Hands-on adjustments: In this approach, the chiropractor manually applies a controlled, sudden force to a specific joint, enhancing its range and quality of motion.
  • Drop-table Chiropractic Adjustment: This technique employs a specially designed table with sections that can be elevated and dropped slightly. The chiropractor applies a quick thrust to the target area while the table section drops.
  • Activator Adjustment: This involves the use of a small, handheld device called an Activator, which delivers a gentle impulse into the spinal vertebra or joint without causing excessive strain to the patient.

These techniques aim to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and enhance overall body function.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a specialized chiropractic technique that uses a traction-based therapy to alleviate pain arising from spinal disc injuries. It involves gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure, which can help draw herniated or bulging discs back into place and promote healing. By relieving pressure on nerves and other vital structures, spinal decompression can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and restore optimal function to the spine. This non-invasive, drug-free technique is often recommended for patients suffering from a wide range of spinal conditions, including sciatica, bulging or herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis.

Neurostim

Neurostim is a chiropractic service that utilizes a non-invasive and safe pain relief technique called electro-acupuncture. This technique uses a small electric current to stimulate specific acupuncture points in the body, promoting the release of endorphins and reducing pain. It is especially effective for relieving chronic pain and improving sports performance. Neurostim is an alternative to traditional acupuncture and can be used on its own or as a complement to other chiropractic treatments. The procedure is painless and patients typically experience immediate relief.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a popular form of therapy offered by chiropractors to relieve muscle pain, spasms, and trigger points. The therapy involves the insertion of filiform needles into the skin to stimulate the underlying myofascial trigger points. The process is called “dry needling” to distinguish it from traditional acupuncture, which follows the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The therapy has gained popularity among athletes, sports enthusiasts and people suffering from chronic pain. The treatment is believed to improve muscle performance and enhance healing by promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and releasing endorphins that alleviate pain. Chiropractors who offer this service are highly trained, and the needles used are very fine and painless.

Cupping

Cupping is a technique used in chiropractic therapy where suction cups are placed on the skin to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. The cups are made of glass or plastic and create a vacuum effect on the skin, pulling it upwards and creating a tingling sensation. Many patients find cupping to be a relaxing and effective way to alleviate pain and stiffness in the back, neck, and shoulders. It is often used in conjunction with other chiropractic treatments like spinal adjustments and massage therapy.

Massage Therapy

Chiropractic service massage therapy is a type of therapeutic massage that uses a range of techniques to soothe tight muscles, reduce pain, and improve joint mobility. Chiropractors use massage therapy in conjunction with other treatments to help target a range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and sports injuries. This type of massage typically involves deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, and other techniques. Overall, chiropractic service massage therapy is a non-invasive and natural way to improve overall well-being and promote healing and relaxation.
