Traditional Chiropractic
The most frequently used chiropractic technique is a manual manipulation or more frequently called a chiropractic adjustment. It is a quick and controlled force that is applied by hand on a joint or a bone. The amount of force depends on factors such as the condition being treated or the age of the patient. The goal of this technique is to improve mechanical function in order to improve the patient’s health and wellbeing. Manual manipulation is a very specific force applied in a very specific direction which requires years of training and practice in order to be efficient.
Impulse Adjustor
Impulse adjusting is very similar to manual manipulation; however, it involves an electrical instrument in order to adjust the joints or bones that are not moving properly. This helps to restore proper movement in the joints or bones and can be used instead of manual manipulation or in conjunction with traditional chiropractic adjustments depending on the injury or the comfort level of each individual patient. It is quite a popular form of treatment for older patients or children.
Acupuncture & Electroacupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific points around the body. These needles can be used with or without an electrical current to stimulate muscles and nerves. Acupuncture and Electroacupuncture can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, improve range of motion, reduce inflammation, and much more.
Laser Therapy
For certain injuries, the use of laser may be beneficial. Laser therapy is a concentrated red light/laser beam which reduces inflammation and can be an effective pain reliever. The most important benefit of laser therapy is that it accelerates tissue regeneration – this means that it stimulates the cells that our body uses to heal an injury; therefore, it can decrease the healing time of certain injuries. Laser therapy can be used for acute (new) and chronic (old) injuries.
