Each visit begins with a brief conversation about how you have felt and functioned since your previous treatment. We then use specific movement or functional testing to measure your progress and identify what should be addressed that day.
After treatment, we repeat the appropriate tests to determine whether your movement or function has improved. A typical treatment visit takes approximately 15 minutes for a chiropractic visit, and 45 minutes for a physical therapy visit.
An adhesion is a focal area in a muscle, tendon or ligament that has failed to heal properly after being damaged. The improper healing makes the tissue not as functional as it was prior, and lacks the ability to provide strength and flexibility to the joints of the body. This can speed up the degeneration and promote more damage to underlying 'hard tissue' structure like spinal disc, nerves and joints.
The good news? It is reversible with the right treatment, treatment done in our office here~
An injury may not heal on its own when the tissue continues to be overloaded, the correct structure has not been identified, or strength and mobility have not been fully restored. Scar tissue, reduced circulation, poor movement patterns and certain health conditions can also slow recovery. Effective treatment addresses both the injured tissue and the factors preventing it from healing.
In most cases, yes. We usually recommend modifying—not completely stopping—activity while you recover. We will help you determine which activities are safe, what should be temporarily limited, and how to gradually return to full activity without repeatedly aggravating the injured tissue.
Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive treatment that delivers controlled acoustic waves into an injured area. These waves stimulate the body’s healing response, improve local circulation, reduce pain and encourage tissue remodeling. It is commonly used for persistent tendon, muscle and fascial conditions that have not fully responded to rest or traditional treatment.
Laser therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity in injured tissues. It is used to help reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural repair process. Treatment is typically comfortable and is often combined with movement and rehabilitation.
Class IV laser therapy uses substantially more power than most low-level or consumer lasers sold online, allowing a therapeutic dose of light to reach a larger treatment area in less time. Professional systems also use carefully selected wavelengths, adjustable dosing and safety controls. The greater power does not automatically guarantee better results, so proper diagnosis, dosing and trained application are essential for safe and effective treatment.
Not every injury requires imaging. A thorough history and examination can often identify the problem. X-rays, diagnostic ultrasound or MRI may be recommended when the diagnosis is unclear, a serious injury is suspected, or the results would change your treatment plan.
An injection or NSAID's may reduce pain for certain conditions, but it does not address the underlying cause or restore the tissue’s strength and function. Some injections also carry risks and may not be appropriate as a first treatment. We can help determine whether conservative care is a better starting point or whether a medical referral for an injection is appropriate.
