Chiropractic Services
Chiropractic is a therapy for treating problems involving tendons, bones, muscles, cartilage, ligaments and the nervous system by performing soft tissue therapies and prescribing corrective exercises and thus safely manipulating the spine to help patients avoid medication and surgery.
Adjustments
People visit a chiropractor primarily for a routine chiropractic treatment best known as an adjustment. This includes eliminating the build-up of lactic acid and aligning the vertebrae and other body parts thereby causing relief which also aids in flexibility and circulation.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
EMS, also known as Electric Muscle Stimulation is a process of contracting the muscles by passing a particular frequency of electric current. This stimulates the muscles leaving you with only a tingling sensation in what was an area of the pain.
Myofascial Release
Applying gentle sustained pressure on the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions and thus restoring motion and eliminating pain is called Myofascial Release. Soft tissues, and immobility and pain in the skeletal muscles are treated through Myofascial release which not only stimulates muscles and relaxes the contracted ones but also improves blood circulation. This treatment is done directly on the skin without the use of creams, oils and machinery to make a chiropractor accurately detect the fascial restrictions and apply the right pressure to release fascial.
Mechanical Traction
Mechanical traction are the different tables on which the patients are made to lie on back or facing down according to the therapy prescribed by the chiropractic doctor.These are machines that have rollers that are brought under the back which help to break up scar tissue, hydrate discs, reduce tension and draw blood to the pain area which helps recovery faster.
Following tractions can be performed depending on need: Lumbar Traction – This is used to target the lumbar curve and restore it to the right degree of curvature to treat patients with lower back pain. Cervical Traction – This is used to set right the cervical curve which will reduce neck pain and headaches. Full Spine Traction – This is used for the overall traction of the spine. Leander Traction – In this traction a patient is made to lie face down and then heat or ice packs are used while performing deep stretches to treat lower back pain. This not only increases the range of motion but also reduces pain. This traction is used for patients suffering with degenerated or herniated discs and carpal tunnel syndrome.
