Our List of Chiropractic Services:
Chiropractic Adjustment
This is the main chiropractic service most chiropractors provide. At PRC we perform chiropractic adjustments when we find a joint that has been “locked up” or “restricted” due to some sort of injury mechanism. Some benefits felt from an adjustment include increased range of motion, decrease in joint pain, decrease in arthritis pain, and an overall feeling of well-being.
Functional Rehabilitation:
This service is very important to a patient’s speedy recovery. Most injuries come down to lack of function. Functional rehabilitation is finding a patient’s biomechanical faults or where they lack proper function and correcting it through exercise rehabilitation and stability training.
Soft-Tissue Techniques:
An injured muscle can become very debilitating if not treated, which can lead to a decrease in function. Soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons) can generate scar tissue and become adhered to other structures in the body. Active Release Technique provided can break up scar tissue and adhesions along the muscle restoring it to proper function.
Relaxation of the muscles:
Everyday activities and posture can cause some muscles to become tight and short or tight and lengthened. Both can have a detrimental effect on your joints. Many leading researchers in the medical field believe degenerative arthritis can be caused by these abnormal muscle pulls. We use post-isometric relaxation to relax these tight muscles and restore them back to normal length.
Functional Screening:
This describes how we find a patient’s functional inabilities to perform certain activities. Examples include a squat test, gait (walking, running), ability to take a step down 6 inches and more. These tests can tell us where a patient is weak and we can develop a personalized functional rehabilitation program tailored to their needs.
Gait Analysis:
Gait can give us a lot of information. Gait refers to a patient’s natural method of walking or running.
TMJ Evaluation and Treatment:
TMD disorders can stem from a variety of other issues. Anything in the head or neck can associate with the TMJ. The TM is a joint that can become faulty or painful due to certain muscle issues in the head and face. This can be treated with muscle techniques provided here in our office. The doctors at Pain Relief Chiropractic have post-graduate training in head, neck, and TMJ rehabilitation. We can also work with your dentist to get the best possible outcome.
Nutritional Guidelines:
If you have questions regarding your nutrition we have answers for you. We will work with you to start a plan that will work for you to reach your goals. The doctors are here to listen and provide specific recommendations and guidelines to get you started.
Nutritional Supplementation:
We offer Anabolic Laboratories nutritional supplements. Why Anabolic Labs? They are the only supplement company with pharmaceutical standards. The FDA really does a bad job regulating the practices of supplement companies and many do not have great standards. Anabolic Labs is great and the old saying goes “you get what you pay for,” when talking about supplements.
Advice:
We're here to listen to your issue. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Plain and simple we will listen to your problem and provide you with our advice and recommendations for certain chiropractic services. It's up to you to take action!
