Chiropractic Sports Medicine
This ca“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~ ”
― Thomas Edison
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal. Our doctors use many chiropractic techniques to resolve your specific issues.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.

Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique
This is a gentle, non-force adjusting approach. The thing that most patients notice first is our special Hill Laboratories AirFlex tables. The movements of this table help to traction the spine, opening up compressed spinal discs and reducing pressure on facet joints of the spine. Named after its developer, Dr. James Cox, this highly-effective technique combines osteopathic principles with the specific, highly-directed approach used in chiropractic. The combination offers a conservative resolution of low back and leg pain that often averts the need for surgery.
The Cox Flexion-Distraction technique we use gives us the ability to place spinal joints in a more normal motion and position without pain or aggravating your condition. By lying on the table, neutralizing the effects of gravity, we're able to gently separate spinal joints and move them through a more normal range of motion. Patients find this surprisingly pleasant. We find it powerfully effective. For more information, visit www.coxtechnic.com. (Retrieved from www.chiropatient.com/cox) |

ATM2 PRO ST: BACK PROJECT
|
ATM®s Concept and Science: Active Therapeutic Movements) are neutral-range active functional movements superimposed upon a specific passive positioning and holding. A few (10-30) movements are performed towards the impaired movement. Based upon your specific clinical issue the doctor will find a passive holding setup for the ATMs. This is essential because it will ensure that the superimposed active movement will alter the CNS (central nervous system, ie-Brain/Spinal Cord) activation strategy from pathological to normal. In this starting position the active neuromuscular training will be of therapeutic value, and produce immediate pain reduction and improved range of motion. This is most likely due to improved CNS governed dynamic stabilization of the specific movement (Pattern training). Our doctors find this therapy very beneficial for acute neck, shoulder, mid back, lower back or sacroiliac pain. Also excellent for scoliosis patients!

Myofascial Release Techniques
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)
Our one-on-one treatment sessions are hands-on treatments during which our doctors use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization/ FAKTR Technique
|
|
FAKTR stands for “Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation, Provocation and Motion.” FAKTR is a soft tissue concept to be utilized with a number of soft tissue techniques to speed the healing time of acute and chronic injuries of the musculoskeletal and fascial systems.
FAKTR works in three major methods:
FAKTR combines soft tissue treatments with resistance training, functional activities, and proprioceptive (balance and coordination) exercises to produce faster results than conventional treatment methods. FAKTR is designed to reduce pain and restore function. Most patients notice improvements in their pain, ROM, or ability to perform sports on their first treatment. FAKTR was developed by Gregory H Doerr, DC and Thomas E Hyde, DC in 2002 and is currently taught throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, South America, Australia and Europe.

Kinesiotaping Therapy
Functional Taping, such as Kinesiotaping has been used all over the world to treat injuries and improve sports performance. The application of the tape helps to create a bio-mechanical lifting mechanism that lifts the skin away from the soft tissue underneath, which allows more blood to move into an injured area to accelerate healing and recovery. Both Kinesiotape and Rock Tape have been worn by athletes in the Olympic games and in many sports including swimming, track & field and triathlons. Functional Taping is a great way for your clinician to continue helping you even after you leave the office.

K-Laser Therapy
What is K-Laser Therapy?
K-Laser (Class IV) Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to stimulate the body's natural ability to heal. The effects of laser energy include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling.
During K-Laser Therapy, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level increasing metabolic activity within the cell. By improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane, the increased production of cellular energy (ATP) is stimulated. The cascade of beneficial effects that follows includes increased cellular function and tissue repair.

Vibration/Percussion Therapy
|
|
VibraCussor® percussive therapy is an exciting new treatment approach for muscle and ligament problems and related myofascial conditions. The VibraCussor® instrument delivers waves of percussive impulses deep into the tissues of the body. The VibraCussor® has a 12-speed switch with a range from 8 cps to 52 cps. The calibrated speeds enable a practitioner to easily return to preferred frequencies for specific conditions. VibraCussor® therapy is very effective for releasing muscles. The VibraCussor® compression waves promote an increase in circulation and lymphatic flow and a decrease in muscle spasm. The VibraCussor® can be used to 'warm-up' muscles and set proper tonus prior to athletic events. The VibraCussor® instrument can also be used following an event, or exercising, to 'flush' muscles and minimize soreness. The repetitive pumping action of the VibraCussor® is ideal for releasing joints. The power of multiple percussive waves accumulates to loosen up 'stuck' areas without using heavy thrusting forces. Additionally, these waves heighten neurological awareness of specific areas of the body and facilitate energetic normalization. Retrived from: https://brimhall.com/p-89-impac-pro-vibracussor.aspx |
