Chiropractic Treatment
Offered by Dr.V, Dr.Andrea, and Dr.Rebecca
A doctor of chiropractic looks at your overall health – focusing not only on your spine, and extremities but also on your lifestyle. After an initial history, an examination is performed and x-rays are often taken. Based on the findings, the doctor will recommend an individualized treatment program to correct the subluxations. She may also suggest diet, exercise and lifestyle changes and help implement them. If it is determined that your condition cannot be helped with chiropractic care, you will be referred to the appropriate healthcare provider.
Chiropractic is a natural method of health care that focuses on treating the causes of health problems, rather than just the symptoms. Chiropractic is based on a simple but powerful premise: With a normally functioning spine and a healthy lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself. That’s because the spinal cord, which is protected by the spine, is the main pathway of your nervous system. It controls feeling, movement, and function throughout your body.
Laser Therapy
Offered by Dr.V
Laser therapy can induce growth in cells and tissues, rejuvenating them and promoting healing.
Medical experts have mentioned some scenarios whereby chiropractic laser therapy can come in handy:
- Musculoskeletal Pain & Injuries:
- Back & Neck: Chronic lower back pain, neck pain, herniated/bulging discs, and whiplash.
- Joint Conditions: Arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid), bursitis, TMJ disorder, and shoulder pain.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Tendinitis (e.g., tennis elbow), sprains, strains, ligament tears, and myofascial pain/trigger points.
- Foot & Ankle: Plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee (chondromalacia patellae), and Achilles tendonitis.
- Chronic Pain Conditions: Fibromyalgia, sciatica, and nerve pain.
- Wound Healing & Skin: Diabetic foot ulcers, burns, dermatitis, and post-surgical wounds.
- Other Conditions: Carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, and shingles.
- Non-invasive: No incisions or recovery time.
- Faster Healing: Accelerates tissue repair, nerve regeneration, and collagen formation.
- Reduces Swelling: Decreases edema and inflammation
.
Moreover, the healing process triggered by this therapy has many additional and overall health benefits.
When properly utilized, chiropractic laser therapy is a game-changer, safe from any harmful effects, as thought by people who don't yet understand. Laser therapy has proven beneficial to persons suffering from pain or discomfort due to different injuries or conditions.
Both therapies (chiropractic and Laser) don't simply address pains. Instead, they address precise ailments first, paving the way for healing and complete cure onset. As information precedes disorientation in this regard, suffice it to say both are mutually inclusive, each making for optimal results within its respective efficacy when operatively combined/layered jointly by specialists' care.
So if you're looking into relieving yourself from chronic pain – whether from arthritis or an injury – consider adding chiropractic laser therapy sessions alongside chiropractic adjustments into your healthcare plan for a more holistic approach. Not only will these relieve your pains, but also restore your overall health and wellness.
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture
Offered by Dr.Andrea
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture applies the evidence-based concepts of acupuncture to relieve pain, alter movement patterns, and improve performance.
Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of needles in the body. It is used to encourage natural healing, reduce/relieve pain, improve mood, and to promote general health.
The most common mechanism of stimulation of acupuncture points is via penetration of the skin by thin metal needles, which are manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation.
How does acupuncture work?
The insertion of acupuncture needles causes a release of endorphins (the 'feel good' hormones), which results in a decrease in pain. Acupuncture also exerts its effects by inhibiting the transmission of pain by way of the Gate Control Theory of Pain.
Along with helping to reduce pain, acupuncture also has other various effects such as:
What conditions acupuncture can help:
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET)
Offered by Dr.Rebecca
Stress responses such as fear, anger, grief, and others can sometimes keep us stuck long after the original event. We can find ourselves self-sabotaging, having destructive beliefs, and having phobias. NET helps to identify and eliminate "stuck" mind-body stress patterns that block the healing process.
The Heart Freedom Method s a powerful mind method developed by Dr.Lise Janelle that can be done in person or virtually. Dr.Rebecca is a certified practitioner in this healing technique and incorporated it with the addition of NET in her practice
Compression Stockings and Orthotics
Offered by Dr.V, Dr.Andrea, and Dr.Rebecca
What do compression socks do?
Socks can do more than keep your feet warm and dry — specialized socks can improve and prevent many health conditions.
Compression socks – or compression stockings – are specialized socks that apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles. They can help improve blood flow from your legs to your heart.
Who could benefit from wearing compression socks?
Compression socks can be beneficial for many conditions. Your doctor may recommend you wear compression socks for:
- Boosting circulation in the legs
- Decreasing swelling in the legs and ankles
- Improving lymphatic drainage
- Managing orthostatic hypotension, or low blood pressure when you stand up after a period of sitting down
- Preventing blood from pooling in the leg veins
- Preventing deep vein thrombosis in the legs
- Preventing venous ulcers
- Reducing pain related to varicose veins
- Reversing venous hypertension
Compression socks can be useful for other situations, too:
- Athletes sometimes wear compression socks on their arms or hands to help improve blood flow and oxygen delivery while they’re working out, practicing or during competition. Some athletes also wear compression wraps to help speed up their post-workout recovery.
- For someone who is confined to a wheelchair, compression socks can help improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the legs.
- Pregnant women who are prone to swelling in their legs, feet or ankles may want to wear compression stockings to reduce chances of swelling. Most pregnant women see the best results with compression socks when they put them on in the morning as a preventative measure, versus putting them on after they’ve developed swelling.
- Airplane passengers or crew on long or frequent air flights may want to wear compression socks to help increase circulation and reduce their risk of developing deep vein thrombosis or blood clots.
- For people on their feet all day at work, compression socks can help reduce fatigue, pain or swelling by increasing blood and oxygen flow in the legs and feet.
ORTHOTICS
Doctors may prescribe orthotics to treat a number of medical conditions. Examples include:
- Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis and osteoarthritis can cause discomfort in the feet and poor positioning that orthotics may help to correct.
- Back pain. Sometimes poor positioning of the feet, such as arches that roll inward, or lack of cushioning can cause pain that orthotics can lessen.
- Bunions. Bunions are painful bumps that can develop at the base of the big toe and cause foot deformities. Orthotics with a wide toe box can help to reduce pressure on the big toe.
- Bursitis. Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs in the heels and toes can cause bursitis pain and discomfort. Orthotics with heel and arch support can help to reduce bursitis discomfort.
- Diabetes. Sometimes, a person with diabetes can lose sensation in their feet, a condition known as diabetic neuropathy. When this occurs, orthotics can help to reduce excess stress and pressure that can lead to foot ulcers.
- Flat feet. Flat feet can cause foot, ankle, and back pain. Orthotics can help to support the feet and promote proper foot positioning.
- Hammer toes. Hammer toes often occur as a side effect of bunions on the big toe. They cause second-toe pain and deformities on the ball of the foot. Orthotics can provide additional support to the feet and reduce the likelihood that hammer toes will worsen.
- Heel spurs. Heel spurs are conditions where excess bone grows on the back or bottom of the heel. Orthotics can support the foot and reduce inflammation.
- High arches. Very high arches can stress muscles in the feet and lead to a number of conditions, such as shin splints, knee pain, and plantar fasciitis. Orthotics can help prevent a person’s feet from rolling excessively inward or outward.
- Injuries. People who’ve experienced trauma to their feet and ankles may require extra support during the healing process with orthotics.
- Plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain. Doctors may sometimes recommend orthotics to support the heel and foot.
Doctors may also prescribe custom orthotics for people who have positional concerns with their feet or legs. This can include those with underdeveloped leg and foot muscles.
