Techniques

Diversified

Diversified Technique is the classic chiropractic technique. This technique was developed to address biomechanical failure in each section of the spine as it relates to specific subluxation. Full spine hands-on techniques are used to deliver a thrust, which makes an osseous (popping) sound as the adjustment is given.

COX Flexion-Distraction

COX is a gentle, distraction decompression adjustment procedure for low back pain. COX is an excellent technique for a bulged disc, failed back surgery syndrome, leg pain, sciatica, facet syndrome and degenerative disc disease. For patients with a "disc" related problem the COX technique provides the following benefits:

Increases the disc height
Removes irritation on the spinal nerve
Allows the center of the disc to assume its central location
Restores vertebral joint motion

For patients with other conditions causing back pain COX technique provides these benefits plus the ability to place the spinal joints into normal, painless movements so as to restore spinal motion without pain.

Physiotherapy Procedures

Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Electrical Muscle Stimulation is electric current that affects the myo-neural junction - the area the nerve goes into the muscle. As the electrical current is increased there will be an involuntary contraction of the muscular area being treated. The application of electrical muscle stimulation promotes healing and strengthening of the involved area. By relaxing the muscles adjacent to the spine, the vertebrae are allowed to move more freely, thus helping to relieve pain and nerve irritation.

Intersegemental Traction

Intersegmental traction is used to improve flexibility and circulation in the joints of the spine. Traction also opens up the joint and increases circulation flow in the spine. As the spine heals, it must do so with both mobility and strength to assure maximum recovery of strength and flexibility. Due to its soothing effect on the spine and spinal nerves, intersegmental traction also helps reduce tension and nervousness.

Massage Therapy

Massage stimulates circulation and production of lymph fluid to provide more efficient and faster healing time. Several techniques are used including Swedish, deep tissue, reflexology, and trigger point therapy. Stress has proven to be extremely detrimental to an individual's health; massage has proven to be a very effective stress reliever. In conjunction with the above mentioned chiropractic techniques most patients experience relief and pleasure from this ancient healing technique.
