Massage

• Deep Tissue Massage
  Trigger points are very small and tight “knots” in the fibers of the muscle that form when the muscles become chronically overworked or injured. Pain from trigger points is very often referred to other parts of the body that may seem wholly unrelated to the source. Trigger points can be successfully treated by a combination of chiropractic care, stretching, and a precise deep tissue massage known as “trigger point therapy”.

Chiropractic Services

• Chiropractic Adjustments
  Chiropractic care works by first relieving the tension or inflammation of the delicate nerves of the spine. This irritation to spinal nerves is the chief cause of spinal pain. When chiropractic adjustments are given to relieve the pressure placed on the nerves of the spine, relief is noticed almost instantly. This relationship between the spine and nervous system is the main focus of chiropractic treatment. With chiropractic care, patients respond to painful spinal conditions and other conditions affecting the entire body.
• Spinal Adjustments
  The spinal adjustments that a chiropractor makes directly impact the proper functioning of the nerve system. A misaligned spine will cause tight and inflamed spinal ligaments and muscles, and restricted mobility anywhere along the spine. This results in a poor flow of information between the nerve system and the rest of your body, which means that there is an increased likelihood of disease taking hold.
• Stretching
• Subluxation
  The primary concern of Chiropractic is the location and correction of vertebral misalignments (Subluxations). To maintain the balance of the spine, we must look at the impact that the extremities have on it. There will be times when the upper and lower extremities’ misaligned joints cause the vertebrae to lose the adjustment. Also, these misalignments can create flawed movement patterns. This can explain why some conditions become chronic while others resolve. Furthermore, a misaligned extremity can be the root cause of certain pain patterns and syndromes, all leading to decreases in function and performance.
• Manipulation Therapy
  Chiropractic adjustments have been shown in many research studies to be very effective at treating tension headaches, especially those that stem from the neck. A 2001 report by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that chiropractic manipulation provided almost immediate improvement, with far fewer side effects and more long-lasting relief than prescription medications. Another study found that just four weeks of chiropractic treatment was enough to provide a sustained benefit that far outweighed anything delivered by pain medication.
• Spinal Decompression
  Chiropractic care, stretching, and exercise therapy are often sufficient to treat mild to moderate disc herniations. More serious cases will often require chiropractic care be coupled with some form of spinal decompression, such as traction or mechanical decompression.
• Chiropractic Injury Treatment
  One specialty in our practices is the treatment of whiplash and other injuries sustained in car and personal injury accidents.
