- Deep Tissue MassageYou will lie completely clothed on the surface of the table. Just under the surface is a mattress filled with heated water. A pump propels the water toward you through three patented hydro-jets. The pressure of the water against the your body provides a very effective deep tissue massage.
- Ultrasound Therapy
- Electrical Muscle StimulationDecompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions typically 3-4 times per week. Each session is approximately 8 - 12 minutes. Following each session, electrical muscle stimulation and ultrasound is applied to help relax your muscles and ligaments.
- Chiropractic AdjustmentsMost chiropractic adjustments are painless; in fact, the adjustment may feel good and can be relieving. If you've had a recent injury, however, adjustments can irritate inflamed tissue and cause some discomfort. Using ice after any irritation is recommended. Some people also experience odd sensations in their muscles or extremities after adjustments. This is a normal reaction to the relieving of pressure on nerves and is usually no cause for concern. It is thought by some scientists to be an increase in circulation once the irritation is removed from the nerve.
- Spinal AdjustmentsAccidents, injuries, improper lifting or body mechanics and inherited spinal weaknesses are common causes of subluxations. Other causes include poor sleeping habits, poor posture, obesity, stress, a sedentary lifestyle, internal organ dysfunction and not enough rest or sleep.How is a subluxation corrected?Chiropractors treat subluxations with a healing technique called spinal adjustment, a procedure that involves applying specific, short, quick thrusts to return vertebrae (the bones that compose the spine and protect the spinal cord) to their proper position and motion. They may also use other tools and techniques.
- Intersegmental Traction
- SubluxationA subluxation refers to a spinal or peripheral joint that is not moving in its normal motion pattern or is out of place. Subluxations create an imbalance in the spine, irritating nerves and blood vessels, affecting the way our body and brain communicate with one another and can contribute to pain and dysfunction in muscles and organs. Subluxations can be silent or non-symptomatic until the weaknesses or changes in function that they cause result in an eventual breakdown or injury.
