Cupping Therapy

Cupping is the term applied to a technique that uses small cups as suction devices that are placed on the skin to disperse and break up stagnation and congestion by pulling blood closer to the surface.  As blood flow increases to the area the muscle fascia and connective tissue loosen. Cupping therapy has been used for back and neck pain, migraines, muscle recovery and tissue relaxation. 

Dry Needling

Dry needling uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. Relaxing the trigger points may improve flexibility and increase range of motion.

IASTM

Graston Technique or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage is a remarkable procedure that allows us to detect and treat areas of “scar tissue” or adhesions in muscles, tendons and ligaments that can reduce range of motion and cause pain. In time, a buildup of scar tissue can lead to dysfunction because the replacement tissue lacks the strength and flexibility of healthy tissue and in some areas may even entrap a nerve.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation or TENS is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electrical impulses. TENS may be used to contract muscles that are weak or not functioning well.  It may also be used to help decrease pain or spasms.

Doctors of Chiropractic utilize a manual adjustment of the joints and soft tissues to treat musculoskeletal conditions. An Activator instrument can also be used to adjust the joints as well. Adjustments are a common method to treat low back and neck pains.

Spinal Traction

Spinal traction or decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This stretching force changes the force and position of the spine which takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc.  As a result, bulging or herniated disks may 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 disks so they can heal.
