Chiropractic Manipulation
Chiropractic Manipulation is a technique where practitioners use their hands or a device to apply a controlled thrust (that is, a force of a specific magnitude or degree in a specific direction) to a joint of your spine. The amount of force can vary, but the thrust moves the joint more than it would on its own.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a component of traditional Chinese medicine in which thin needles are inserted into specific points of the body, to various depths.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy, or commonly known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or low-power laser therapy (LPLT), uses low levels of light to treat a variety of conditions. Those conditions include tendinitis, back pain, neck pain, Fibromyalgia, TMJ, and many others. This FDA-approved procedure not only reduces pain and inflammation, but also strengthens damaged tissue.
Gua Sha
Gua sha is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). According to the principles of TCM, your qi (pronounced “chi”), or energy, must flow throughout your body so you can feel your best. When qi becomes stagnant in certain areas, it’s believed that health problems can occur. With gua sha, a practitioner (an acupuncturist in many cases) will use a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of your body where there is inflammation or stagnant qi to help improve circulation and promote healing.
Gua sha is a very standard kind of treatment modality that most acupuncturists will use. Its meaning loosely translates to ‘scraping, rubbing or pushing.’
Decompression
Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.
Decompression is best for the following:
- Back or neck pain or sciatica (pain, weakness, or tingling that extends down the leg)
- Bulging or herniated disks or degenerative disk disease
- Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)
- Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
Cupping
Cupping therapy, an ancient healing practice originating from traditional Chinese medicine, involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This technique is believed to promote healing by improving blood flow, releasing tension in muscles, and stimulating the body's natural energy flow. Cupping therapy is renowned for its therapeutic properties, offering relief for various ailments such as muscle pain, inflammation, and stress. The suction created by the cups draws stagnant blood and toxins to the surface, allowing the body to expel them more effectively.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing process. By delivering high-energy pulses to targeted areas of the body, shockwave therapy triggers a cascade of biological responses, including increased blood flow, tissue regeneration, and reduced pain sensation. This innovative treatment has shown promising results in addressing chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and calcific shoulder tendinitis, where traditional therapies may have been ineffective. With its ability to promote tissue repair and relieve pain, shockwave therapy offers patients a non-surgical option for managing chronic pain and improving mobility, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
