The help of a health care practitioner should be utilized based on your individual needs. Preventative care is key to protect the body from muscle strains, tears and herniations that all could possibly lead to surgeries. Treatment after an acute injury is also extremely important because getting on the right treatment plan as soon as possible will accelerate recovery and make sure the injury doesn't become a chronic problem.
Below is a list of services that are aimed at helping acute and chronic injuries.
Spinal and Extremity Adjustments:
A high velocity low amplitude thrust performed on fixated and restricted joints in order to increase mobility, restore function, and improve the nerve communication pathways in the body.
Myofascial Release:
Specific soft tissue mobilization on tight and tender muscles and trigger points to help release and restore proper function. This treatment also helps to break up scar tissue and brings more blood to the muscles enhancing the healing process.
Fibrous Release Procedure:
A combination of stretches used to floss the nerves through the nerve channels at the spine, which can help reduce chronic nerve pain. This flossing of the nerve is intended to break up scar tissue and can help alleviate symptoms of sciatica and arm tingling.
Therapeutic Exercises:
Therapeutic exercises are designed to maximize joint and muscle health while minimizing the risk of re-injury. Programs are designed to adequately take patients through the stages of the rehabilitation process so that they can get back to regular activity as safely and quickly as possible with better function.
Therapeutic Laser:
Therapeutic laser therapy with the THOR laser help to accelerate the healing process, reduce inflammation, and relax muscle tissue. The THOR laser is safe and affective for both acute and chronic conditions and can help relieve the pain associated with arthritis.
Therapeutic Ultrasound:
Deep heating to the tissues helps to bring more blood to the area, which helps to promote muscle relaxation and healing.
Normatec Recovery System:
The sequential compression that is created from the feet to the thighs helps to pump out lactic acid and inflammation faster, which leads to less muscular soreness and faster post-game and/or workout recovery.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field:
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) can help break up scar tissue, balance cells, and promote healing by causing a through and through contraction of your muscle fibers which increases oxygenation to the tissues.
Kinesio-Tape:
A specific taping technique used to enhance and support muscles and joints.
