- CryotherapyStatistically, significant improvement was noted for 93% of the 28 patients studied in the Woodward study while under chiropractic care. In the research study chiropractic care consisted of spinal manipulation, PNF, and cryotherapy. Many of the patients were treated prior to the study with NSAIDS, soft colors, and physiotherapy.
- Electrical Muscle StimulationElectrical Muscle Stimulation is an exceptional way to help the body in the healing process. This is accomplished by sending a very small electrical current into the affected soft tissue injury or muscle spasm. The therapy utilizes this current in an effort to loosen the muscle and release trigger points that may have the muscle tight or spasmed. It does this by helping the body to release natural relievers of pain often referred to as endorphins.

- SubluxationMany people approach back problems in a rush to relieve pain. Instead, it should be a thorough process to ensure the right problem is treated in order to find long lasting back pain relief. The fastest solution is not always the right solution, especially when it comes to disc problems. Spinal discs are a jelly doughnut-like body part that fit between the spine’s vertebrae. Discs help keep the spine flexible, allow you to move properly, and act as a spacer between the vertebrae. Vertebral subluxation is when the spinal disc moves out of place and agitates the surrounding nerves.
- Manipulation TherapyIf you’re still not convinced that chiropractic care can help you overcome migraines, know several clinical trials were completed by researchers on how chiropractic adjustments helped those suffering from migraines. While spinal manipulation didn’t help a small amount of people, 22% of those suffering from headaches reported a 90% reduction of migraine attacks. Another 49% of sufferers reported a significant reduction of the intensity of migraines.
- Spinal DecompressionNonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that helps relieve neck and lower back pain caused but osteoarthritis, stenosis and herniated discs. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine at certain angles. That changes the force and position of the spine and the discs. This change takes pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs begin to retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.
