Adjustment & Manual Therapy Spinal Decompression & Meditrac ARP Wave Therapy
Chiropractic adjustments apply controlled force to various joints within the spine with the aim of aligning the spine and improving the overall function of the musculoskeletal system. One of the key benefits of chiropractic adjustments is that it helps to make it easier for patients to move around. As we get older, our joints can become stiffer, and this can make it painful and difficult to move freely. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce inflammation that can affect the joints, improving their flexibility and your range of motion. Studies have found that regular chiropractic adjustments can also reduce pressure on the central nervous system (of which the spinal cord is integral) and as a result, improve the function of all organs and body systems.
Spinal Decompression works by helping to alleviate pressure on your joints and nerves. Your spine provides support for your body. It consists of bones called vertebrae, with ligaments and spinal discs that keep it flexible. Your spinal column provides a nerve pathway that runs down the middle of these bones, ligaments and disks. Spine injuries or degeneration (wear and tear) to your spine can cause pain. You might feel pain from compression in your spine that puts pressure on your spinal cord or nerves. Spinal decompression seeks to relieve the pressure to ease the pain. This is done by increasing the space between your vertebrae or between your vertebrae and nerves. By “pulling” in the opposite direction of gravity to increase space and decrease pressure we are able to help alleviate our symptoms.
Over 8 million sports injuries occur each year, and healing can take months for some people. ARP Wave Therapy, or Accelerated Recovery Performance (ARP), uses a bioelectric current to stimulate circulation, break down scar tissue, and speed the healing process. The treatment uses a low-voltage electrical current to stimulate your nervous system. When that happens, it allows your muscles to relax, which encourages healing and can reduce the amount of scar tissue left after an injury. ARP wave therapy is a fantastic solution for relaxing muscle spasms and reducing the amount of muscle atrophy that occurs after an injury. This is because it helps maintain range of motion and boosts circulation. Besides speeding the recovery time for injuries like strains, sprains, and ligament tears, ARP is also suitable for conditions such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel, golfer’s elbow, joint pain, pinched nerves, and arthritis, and can provide relief for headaches, fibromyalgia, sciatica and lower back pain, as well as knee, hip or neck pain that can be related to a health condition or an injury.
