CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a health care profession concerned with diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Our chiropractor provides evidence-based treatments and management strategies following a thorough assessment to relieve pain and dysfunction from conditions of the spine as well injuries to other areas of the body from sport, work, or any activity. This typically includes education, advice, manual (hands-on) therapy, and exercise prescription.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments target stiff and restricted joints and motion segments with the intent of restoring natural movement while decreasing pain. This is achieved through release of joint pressure, stimulation of soft tissue receptors around the joint, and short-term effects on the central nervous system. Restoration of motion and pain relief provided is essential to complement active care and exercise to ensure regular movement and better overall function.
Active Release Technique (ART)®
ART® is a hands-on soft-tissue therapy which utilizes movement of the body to lengthen muscles that are under tension from the practitioner’s hands. This helps to reduce tension, pain, and tissue adhesion in the affected soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc).
Shockwave Therapy
Radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy utilizes a high frequency of targeted sound waves to transmit signals to the tissues of the body. These sound waves are converted to mechanical force that acts on the tissues of the body to promote a healing response on the cellular level. This therapy has been shown to be very helpful to help treat chronic disorders of connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, etc).
Golf Performance & Injury Management (TPI®)
Our chiropractor is a Titleist Performance Institute Certified Medical 2 practitioner. TPI® is a system of golf performance and injury management that focuses on how the human body moves in relation to the golf swing. Physical limitations in the body can lead to poor performance or injury. Treatment and exercise guided by movement assessment through the TPI® system allows for a personalized approach to rehab or performance for golfers.
Concussion Management (CCMI®)
Our chiropractor is a Complete Concussion Management Certified clinician. We utilize concussion assessments, education, return-to-play/work/learn guidelines, exertional testing, and rehabilitation techniques according to the most up-to-date research and guidelines. This can help reduce any worry and fear regarding concussion while efficiently guiding someone with a concussion back to sport, school, or work as quickly and safely as possible while reducing risk of long-term effects.
Drop Table Technique
A non-twisting technique that allows for body weight momentum to produce the effects of a chiropractic adjustment. Helpful for those who are uncomfortable with traditional adjustments and for areas that pose awkward angles for a traditional adjustment, such as the hips or pelvis.
