Chiropractic
Adjustment
Spinal misalignment can cause nerve tissues to stretch, chafe, or become irritated. These “subluxations” can produce a variety of health problems.
During an adjustment, your joints undergo quick, gentle stretching of the spinal facet. At that time you may hear a cracking or popping noise. This is caused by small pockets of air or bubbles, which are in the fluid that surrounds your joints. After this treatment, you may feel more movement in your back and some immediate relief. However, the muscles may still be sore and tight.
COLD LASER
THERAPY
Light and laser therapy is a safe and highly effective treatment method that offers a rapid, drug free and non- invasive healing solution. It’s a safe, effective and painless therapy that activates the body’s natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity and promote cell regeneration.
Laser therapy will improve results for conditions such as:
-
Arthritis
-
Muscle tension and spasms
-
Sprains and strains
-
Nerve issues
-
Acute and chronic pain
-
Post-operative wounds that result in a loss of range of motion
HOW IT WORKS
The body absorbs the laser light on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy, which the body then uses to commence its own tissue regeneration and healing. This acceleration of healing in turn decreases pain, edema and inflammation.
LASER CAN HELP:
Active Release
Technique
A.R.T. is a soft tissue treatment technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.
Injuries to soft tissue can result in inflammation and swelling. The body responds to the inflammation with scar tissue in an attempt to stabilize the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and results in restricting circulation, inhibiting nerve function, causing ongoing friction and pressure, and usually results in the production of more cross fibres and adhesions.
HOW IT WORKS
The A.R.T. provider uses his or her hands to evaluate abnormal tissues, which are then treated by combining precisely directed tension with specific patient movements in an attempt to break down the built-up scar tissue.
It is common to feel a duplication of your pain symptoms during the treatment (a good indication that the problem has been identified).
Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless-steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
Graston
Technique
Graston Technique can help:
-
Decrease overall time of treatment
-
Foster faster rehabilitation/recovery
-
Reduce need for anti-inflammatory medications
-
Resolve chronic conditions thought to be permanent
POSTNATAL
REHABILITATION
Mama, do not accept that childbirth means you have to pee your pants for the rest of your life. There are so many common symptoms we dismiss as an "inevitable consequence of being a mother", but we're here to tell you there is so much we can do to fix it!
It's our job to support and empower women to treat their bodies with care, compassion and proper rehabilitation. You don't have to suffer just because you had a baby.
Stretching
& Exercises
YOU are a big part of your recovery! Committing some time at home will be a huge factor in the success of your treatment plan set out by your doctor. He or she will provide you with some exercises and stretches which can be sent to your email! It's a team effort between you and your practitioner. If we work together, you are more likely to succeed!
