Why Us? Because We do Things Differently.
We offer more than the average office and we have experience in treating the most difficult cases: By utilizing a unique combination of gentle or standard Chiropractic procedures, a 2 tiered Physical Therapy program of rehabilitation, massage therapy, and working closely with a network of Medical Doctors and specialists, we can offer you the full spectrum of services that standard HMO’s, Kaiser and other managed care organizations cannot deliver. We accept medical liens, medical pay coverage and standard insurance and help you every step of the way.
Gentle low force instrument can be used to align vertebra that cause pinched nerves
We utilize both gentle and standard Chiropractic techniques to suit everyone’s needs with up to 8 different types used. Since everyone’s different, one-size does not fit all. A Gentle-low force instrument can be administered to effectively align vertebra in addition to many other manual hands on techniques.
Low back pain can be helped with a technique called “pelvic blocking” in which wedges or blocks can be strategically placed under the pelvic bones to align them in a specific direction.
2 Phase Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Program
We use a 2 tiered system. The first tier is more for the acute-subacute scar tissue phase and the second tier is for the strengthening phase. This will effectively help your spinal pain.
Tier 1 rehabilitation focuses on mobility utilizing patented equipment called “repetative linear cervical traction”
Repetative Linear Cervical Traction Exercise
which is different than the standard traction. This is an active exercise that helps stretch the neck so that ’scar tissue’ does not harden and stiffen the soft tissues. It also opens up the disc spaces to help repair discs and take pressure off nerves in the neck. Patients really love this exercise to help their neck pain.
Tier 1 also includes our patented Wobble chair which acts as a swivel and allows for full range of motion in the mid and low back to help muscle and disc repair. It also stretches scar tissue and significantly relieves low back pain. Massage therapy is also utilized to help reduce muscle spasm and return proper balance to the muscular system. It is also designed to prevent excess scar tissue to damage the muscle which can have long-term consequences. A trained massage therapist who understands injury can help expedite your recovery.
These are active exercises that help prevent improper healing. Scar tissue repairs torn soft tissues, but if not properly rehabilitated through mobility and stretching exercises and hands on types of manipulation, can harden and form adhesions leading to degeneration and arthritis. Scar tissue repair is very important in your recovery and should not be taken lightly.
Pilates Based Physical Therapy Equipment
Tier 2 consists of Pilates Based Physical Therapy which focus on strengthening weakened muscles that occur due to injury. You have nerves and receptors, called mechano-receptors found in the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons that are often damaged as a result of injury. These receptors and nerves feed the brain with incoming information so that the brain can coordinate movements and maintain muscle strength. Injury disrupts this normal neurological process and hidden weakness develops. This weakness can perpetuate your injury. We then must re-establish these neurological pathways and retrain muscle-neurological-muscle balance. That’s why standard physcial therapy often fails if not addressing your rehabilitation in this manner.
