Chiropractic care provides a natural solution to many conditions that result from accidents or illnesses. Some of the conditions we can help with are sciatica, headaches, and whiplash.
Spinal manipulation
Spinal manipulation is one of the most common chiropractic techniques utilized. Many different options are available and most chiropractors employ more than one. The adjustments can be gentle or vigorous depending on what the situation calls for. Spinal adjustments can be done by hand or the chiropractor may use an activator. When the vertebrae are out of alignment, messages can't get through freely. This means that the body is not working to its highest potential. By adjusting the spine, the impulses can get where they need to be, and it can help with pain and with illnesses that may be bothering you.
Spinal decompression
Spinal decompression is a therapy that can help with sciatic pain. When the discs in the back become herniated or bulging, they can press on the sciatic nerve. This can send pains shooting from the back down the nerve over the buttocks and down the legs. Usually, only one leg is involved at a time. The concept of spinal decompression is to spread the vertebrae apart to create suction that will pull the disc back into the place where it belongs. This can be done with manual traction or with a specially designed table and a very precise computer program. Once the disc returns to its original location, the pain usually subsides.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise is designed to target very specific conditions that may be causing pain. This allows you to be able to continue your recovery when you are at home between visits.
Electrical stimulation
Electrical stimulation therapy uses electric current to treat soft tissue dysfunction. It uses low levels of electricity to stimulate the muscles, making them contract. The constant contractions make them tired, and they relax, which helps to promote healing.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves deep into the soft tissues. It improves circulation in the area and creates heat. It promotes pain relief and healing at the cellular level and cuts down on the creation of scar tissue.
