Your rehabilitation starts with a proactive approach
Every body is different, and how we treat your body will depend on your specific needs. Your initial visit, and subsequent occasional re-examination visits, will help the doctor assess your specific treatment plan and overall objectives.
Your initial treatment will begin with some light muscle work provided by the chiropractor or licensed massage therapist. This work is performed as needed and to your tolerance.
Spinal adjustments will then be performed once the muscles have been properly loosened. Additional massage work or exercises may then be provided.
Our Doctors provide a dynamic and pro-active approach to your rehabilitation. With both practical and theoretical study in the field of physiotherapy, our goal is to get you back on your feet, and functioning fully, as soon as possible.
As pain continues to decrease, more advanced home exercises can be taught. This will continue to sustain your pain relief time so that ultimately you will not need to rely so heavily on passive, in-office treatments.
More often than not, massage and muscle work is necessary. This ensures the muscles surrounding the joint regions are relaxed for further adjustment or prescribed exercise and strengthening rehabilitation therapy.
We have staffed Licensed Massage Therapists onsite who, if recommended by your Chiropractor, can provide further deep tissue and medical massage work to specific areas.
Our massage therapists are also Licensed Chiropractic Assistants, which permits them to assist you under the doctor's recommended and specified instruction.
Many times we may also utilize electrical muscle stimulation to fatigue muscles to ensure they do not return to spasm. This is especially utilized when dealing with a fresh sports injury.
After treatment, easy to perform rehabilitative home exercises are taught in-office. This helps you to maintain the benefits made depending on what is causing your pain or loss of mobility. Home exercises are based on how the body is moving in certain key directions, and many times, if someone suffers a sports or auto injury.
Pain that lasts for more than a few months is considered chronic pain, and can have a serious effect on your overall well-being. Together, we’ll explore the source of your pain and create a program that provides the right treatment.
