Treatments

We believe in a Balanced and holistic approach to treatment. The best outcomes may be achieved by a combination of treatment approaches like chiropractic, physical therapy, or massage.

Every condition or injury and patient has unique needs for treatment. Thus, we are here to critically think and determine the best course of care for each individual. After all, what good is treatment if it isn’t working towards your unique goals.

On day one, we work closely with each patient to gain full understanding of their underlying issues and health history. This allows us to determine the best treatments to get them on the path to recovery.

Stages of Care

1. RESET

Symptom relief is the first stage of care for most patients. Treatments focus on techniques and therapies which most quickly and effectively reduce pain and other discomfort, allowing the majority of individuals to continue their daily activities.

Modalities that reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm are used during this stage and may be combined with manual therapy and gentle active exercises. 

2. REHAB

The second stage of care consists of correcting the impairments discovered during the evaluation. This may include manual therapy (including manipulation), therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, therapeutic activities, and gait training. 

This stage may also include advice on lifestyle modifications to promote overall well being. While office visits often include both manual therapy as well as exercises, it is imperative that we address the whole person. We will likely ask about and give advice on other important factors in healing including ergonomics, nutrition, sleep, and training regimen. 

It is extremely important that the patient complies with the home program given by the doctor. Tissues and structures that are not fully rehabilitated are prone to future problems. Patients should also be aware that once pain and discomfort have subsided, tissue healing and is often times incomplete and is prone to re-injury. Lifestyle factors like sleep and nutrition can have significant effects on healing outcomes and long term results. 

3. PERFORM

Once the tissues are healed, it is usually recommended the patient continue with wellness visits. Monthly check-ins with their chiropractor helps to ensure optimal spinal health. Research studies have show that monthly chiropractic visits significantly reduce the number of back and neck pain episodes per year. Chiropractic checkups provide similar benefits to the spine that dental checkups provide to the teeth. The goal of wellness visits is catching minor problems and disturbances before they have the opportunity to cause pain and disability. 

We also offer training services led by our physical therapists. These sessions will build on what is learned through rehabilitation to improve strength, performance, and flexibility. If you aren’t a previous patient, a comprehensive performance exam will be performed to determine functional deficits that may be affecting performance. Training sessions will be designed to help clients reach individual goals whether that’s achieving a new personal best or just staying active and healthy.
