Chiropractic
Doctors of Chiropractic focus on the neuromusculoskeletal system and have a holistic approach to your body’s overall wellness. They diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. Chiropractors use soft tissue and myofascial therapy, various modalities (ultrasound, electrotherapy), chiropractic adjustments, exercise prescription, custom orthotics and other advice to correct mechanical fixations in the spine and joints, relieve pain and return the body back to normal function. Chiropractic has been found to be effective in the treatment of low back pain, neck pain, headaches, pregnancy related pain, etc. Chiropractors work with patients of all ages to relieve initial joint and muscle pain, give rehabilitative care and preventative maintenance care to help you stay as healthy as you can be.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapists assess and use hands-on techniques to manipulate soft tissues and joints of the body to encourage a therapeutic response to treat and prevent physical dysfunction. The techniques used can stretch and loosen connective tissues and muscles, affect joint movement, and help to increase function and range of motion, which then reduces muscle tension. Specifically it increases circulation by dilating small blood vessels, stimulates lymph circulation (aiding in eliminating waste and toxic debris), increases blood supply and nutrition to muscles and tissues and improves muscle tone. Massage therapy can be preventative or restorative, helping to maintain, rehabilitate, and augment physical function and relieve pain. Massage therapists can help to alleviate soft tissue discomfort related to everyday stress, muscle overuse and chronic pain syndromes.
