Radial Shockwave Therapy

Radial Shockwave Therapy



Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT) is a cutting-edge treatment that alleviates chronic musculoskeletal pain and promote healing. This non-invasive procedure uses acoustic waves to target areas of discomfort, stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
How Radial Shock Wave Therapy Works  During a radial shock wave therapy session, high-energy acoustic waves are applied to the affected area using a handheld device. These waves penetrate the tissues, increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating cellular repair. This process promotes the regeneration of tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues, leading to reduced pain and improved function.
Conditions Treated  Radial Shock Wave Therapy is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including:
  • Plantar Fasciitis: Relieves heel pain and inflammation.
  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Reduces pain and improves grip strength.
  • Achilles Tendinopathy: Promotes healing of the Achilles tendon.
  • Shoulder Tendonitis: Alleviates pain and improves range of motion.
  • Calcific Rotator Cuff Tendinitis: Helps break down calcifications and reduce pain.
Benefits of Radial Shock Wave Therapy
  • Non-invasive: No surgery or injections required.
  • Quick Recovery: Typically no downtime; patients can resume normal activities.
  • Pain Relief: Reduces chronic pain symptoms effectively.
  • Safe and Effective: Supported by clinical research and used worldwide.
What to Expect  Each session of radial shock wave therapy typically lasts 10-15 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which is well-tolerated. The number of sessions needed varies based on the condition and individual response, and our chiropractors will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Is Radial Shock Wave Therapy Right for You?  If you are experiencing chronic pain or have been diagnosed with a musculoskeletal condition that hasn’t responded well to traditional treatments, radial shock wave therapy may offer the relief you need. Schedule a consultation with our skilled chiropractors to discuss your symptoms, undergo a thorough evaluation, and determine if radial shock wave therapy is suitable for you.









Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression



Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment option for relieving back pain, neck pain, and radiating arm and leg discomfort.  We specialize in this innovative technique designed to alleviate pressure on spinal discs and joints, promoting natural healing and long-term relief.
How Spinal Decompression Works  Using state-of-the-art equipment, spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure helps herniated or bulging discs retract, relieving pressure on nerves and other structures in the spine. By enhancing the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients to the affected areas, spinal decompression supports the body's natural healing process.
Conditions Treated  Spinal decompression therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including:
  • Herniated Discs: Reduces disc bulge and relieves associated pain.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Promotes hydration and regeneration of spinal discs.
  • Sciatica: Alleviates pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing pain and numbness.
  • Facet Syndrome: Relieves pain caused by inflamed spinal joints.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Helps open up spinal canal space, reducing pressure on nerves.
What to ExpectDuring a spinal decompression session, you will lie comfortably on a specialized table while the treatment device gently applies traction to your spine. Many patients find the experience relaxing and may experience a gentle stretching sensation. Treatments typically last 20-30 minutes and are tailored to your specific condition and needs.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression
  • Non-invasive: No surgery required.
  • Drug-free: Natural pain relief without medication.
  • Effective: Many patients experience significant pain reduction and improved mobility.
  • Holistic Approach: Supports the body’s natural healing process.
Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?If you suffer from chronic back or neck pain and are seeking a non-invasive treatment option, spinal decompression may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Schedule a consultation with our experienced chiropractors to discuss your symptoms, receive a thorough evaluation, and determine if spinal decompression therapy is appropriate for your condition.










Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy



Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that will accelerate healing and reduce pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. This innovative therapy uses low-intensity laser light to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular regeneration and enhancing natural healing processes.
How Cold Laser Therapy WorksDuring a cold laser therapy session, a handheld device emitting low-level laser light is applied directly to the affected area. The light energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by cells, where it stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy source for cells. This increased cellular energy promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain.
Conditions TreatedCold Laser Therapy is effective for treating a range of conditions, including:
  • Muscle Strains and Sprains: Speeds up healing and reduces pain.
  • Joint Pain (e.g., Knee, Shoulder): Alleviates discomfort and improves mobility.
  • Back and Neck Pain: Targets deep tissues to provide relief.
  • Tendonitis and Bursitis: Promotes healing of inflamed tendons and bursae.
  • Arthritis: Helps reduce pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy
  • Non-invasive: No needles, surgery, or medications required.
  • Pain Relief: Reduces pain quickly and effectively.
  • Accelerated Healing: Enhances tissue repair and regeneration.
  • Minimal Side Effects: Gentle and safe for most patients.
What to ExpectCold laser therapy sessions are typically quick and painless, lasting anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes depending on the size and location of the treatment area. Most patients experience a soothing warmth or tingling sensation during the procedure. The number of sessions needed varies based on the condition being treated, and our chiropractors will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Is Cold Laser Therapy Right for You?If you are seeking a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing pain and promoting healing, cold laser therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Schedule a consultation with our experienced chiropractors to discuss your symptoms, undergo a thorough evaluation, and determine if cold laser therapy is appropriate for your condition.










Acupuncture and Dry Needling

Acupuncture and Dry Needling



Acupuncture and dry needling are therapeutic techniques that alleviate pain, promote healing, and enhance overall well-being. These treatments involve the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing responses and restore balance.
Acupuncture: Traditional Healing for Modern WellnessAcupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice that has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of health conditions. It involves inserting fine needles into strategic points along energy channels (meridians) to regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body. By restoring the balance of Qi, acupuncture can relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve overall function.
Conditions Treated with AcupunctureAcupuncture is effective for treating various conditions, including:
  • Musculoskeletal Pain: Back pain, neck pain, joint pain, etc.
  • Headaches and Migraines: Reduces frequency and intensity of headaches.
  • Stress and Anxiety: Promotes relaxation and emotional well-being.
  • Digestive Issues: Improves digestion and reduces symptoms like bloating.
  • Insomnia: Helps regulate sleep patterns and improve sleep quality.
Dry Needling: Targeting Trigger Points for Pain ReliefDry needling is a technique used to treat myofascial pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin needles directly into trigger points (tight bands of muscle) to release tension and relieve pain. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on meridians, dry needling targets specific muscle knots and trigger points to restore muscle function and alleviate pain.
Conditions Treated with Dry NeedlingDry needling is particularly effective for conditions such as:
  • Muscle Spasms and Tension: Relieves tight muscles and spasms.
  • Sports Injuries: Facilitates recovery and enhances performance.
  • Chronic Pain Syndromes: Fibromyalgia, tension headaches, etc.
  • Repetitive Strain Injuries: Carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, etc.
Benefits of Acupuncture and Dry Needling
  • Pain Relief: Reduces acute and chronic pain symptoms effectively.
  • Improved Function: Enhances range of motion and flexibility.
  • Natural Healing: Stimulates the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
  • Holistic Approach: Complements chiropractic adjustments and other therapies.
What to ExpectDuring your acupuncture or dry needling session, you may experience a mild sensation as the needles are inserted. The needles are typically left in place for a short period before being removed. Many patients find these treatments relaxing and experience immediate or gradual relief from their symptoms.











Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)


IASTM uses specially designed, medical grade stainless steel tools to break up scar tissue and help improve function of injured areas of your body. Scar tissue can affect the way your muscles and tendons work; by breaking up scar tissue, our doctor will help you increase flexibility and movement while decreasing pain.
During treatment, your therapy the doctor will press the rounded stainless steel tools against areas of soft tissue that are inflamed or scarred, stimulating your bodys natural healing processes. The shape of the tools allows the doctor to treat areas they cannot reach properly with their hands alone while increasing the precision and sensitivity of treatment. The tools are also frictionless, allowing them to be moved comfortably against your skin. IASTM can even be used to diagnose soft tissue problems. The size and shape of the tools helps the doctor feel areas they could not reach before and really identify areas of tightness or pain.


Cupping

Cupping



Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that has gained popularity for its ability to promote pain relief, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.  We offer this gentle and effective treatment to enhance your overall well-being and complement chiropractic care.
How Cupping Therapy WorksDuring a cupping therapy session, special cups are placed on your skin and then heated or suctioned onto targeted areas of your body. This creates a vacuum effect that draws skin, muscle, and fascia upward into the cup. The resulting suction stimulates blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and encourages the release of toxins and stagnant energy.
Conditions TreatedCupping therapy is beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:
  • Muscle Tension and Pain: Relieves tightness and discomfort in muscles.
  • Joint Stiffness: Improves flexibility and range of motion.
  • Inflammation: Reduces swelling and promotes healing.
  • Respiratory Issues: Helps clear congestion and support lung function.
  • Stress and Anxiety: Promotes relaxation and emotional well-being.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy
  • Natural Healing: Supports the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
  • Pain Relief: Alleviates muscular and joint pain effectively.
  • Detoxification: Enhances circulation and aids in the removal of toxins.
  • Holistic Approach: Complements chiropractic adjustments and other therapies.
What to ExpectDuring your cupping therapy session, you may experience a gentle pulling sensation as the cups are applied to your skin. The cups are typically left in place for several minutes or moved around to target different areas. This therapy is generally comfortable and relaxing, with minimal discomfort afterward.








Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping



The kinesiology taping method is based on the science of maintaining support to the body while allowing blood and other bodily fluids to move freely through and around the injured muscle.Kinesiology tape stabilizes the injured area by lightly adhering to the skin and applying pressure to the tissues the tape is wrapped around. This tape allows the connective tissue surrounding the affected muscle or tendon to move along with the body.It gently allows the free flow of blood and lymphatic fluid to cleanse and heal the inflammation without the use of medications or surgery. This special tape helps to improve circulation, support muscles, allow the internal injury to heal, and help prevent further muscle injury while still allowing motion.
