Chiropractic
A chiropractic adjustment is the minor movement of a joint in the spine performed by a slight pressure of the chiropractor’s hands or by an instrument. The goal of an adjustment is to establish motion in an area that is not moving well. This restricted motion can occur for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma, such as a car accident. You may hear a noise that sounds like you are cracking your knuckles when you get adjusted. This sound is referred to as joint cavitation. That noise is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint. Current research supports that chiropractic is a safe and effective method in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Some of these conditions include low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, and many more.
Flexion-Distraction
Flexion-Distraction is a highly researched chiropractic technique that is primarily used for the treatment of low back pain. During this technique, the patient is lying face down on a table while the doctor provides a light and controlled force with his hand on the low back. With a lever attached to the end of the table, the doctor is able to move the bottom half of the table in a fluid up-and-down motion. This technique is commonly used in patients with low back pain in order to provide motion in an area that is not moving well.
Nutrition Response Testing
Nutrition response testing is used to detect nutritional deficiencies or sensitivities that can be contributing to a patient’s discomfort. During nutritional response testing, the doctor contacts various reflex points on the body while simultaneously testing the strength of the patient's extended arm. These reflex points, which correspond to various regions of the body, are based on acupuncture points. If the doctor contacts a specific reflex point where the extended arm becomes weak, he then knows the likely nutritional deficits in the body. Our office offers Standard Process whole food supplements and MediHerb herbal supplements to address these needs for our patients.
Therapeutic exercise consists of movements that can be beneficial in increasing strength or range of motion in a specific region of the body. Our team utilizes exercises that can help you recover more quickly and decrease the likelihood of re-injury. We also encourage our patients to exercise once our treatment plan is completed.
