prenatal massages

Pregnancy places strong demand on a woman's body and is a time for the body to be nurtured. This massage relieves the tensions and aches caused by the extra weight and shift in the body's center of gravity. It soothes the nervous system, helps release toxins from the body and enhances energy.

A variety of massage therapy techniques are offered, which are both therapeutic and relaxing. The spa-like setting will ease your stress and allow your body to relax the way it should. While much of our massage therapy is therapeutic in nature, we also provide relaxing Swedish massage. Our office also provides massages designed to increase flexibility and movement in the various muscles and joints of the body.

spinal & postural screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at schools, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact our office today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

We teach our patients special exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of our office and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal function. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

In some acute and chronic cases modalities may be used in conjunction with your chiropractic care to achieve maximum results. These modalities include some of the following:

Electro-Muscle Stimulation - Electric stimulation is used chiefly for the relief of pain and muscle relaxation in acute conditions. When applied to the muscles adjacent to the spine, the vertebrae are allowed to move more freely thus helping to relieve pain and nerve irritation. This type of therapy is also used to maintain muscle integrity in case of nerve injury.

Ultrasound - This modality uses sound waves at high frequencies to aid the healing process in areas of injury. By creating deep tissue heat, reducing swelling and breaking up toxic waste product accumulation, ultrasound relives pain and promotes rapid healing.

Moist Heat - A therapy that helps to increase the circulation to the effected area relaxing the muscles and relieving the pain without dehydrating the body.

Cryotherapy - Is the use of ice packs for acute injuries to help in the reduction of swelling and bruising as well as pain management.

Inter-vertebral Traction - Intermittent traction places a gentle stretch on the spine to separate the vertebrae and relieve the stress on the discs between the vertebrae. The stretching effect exerted on the discs creates a sucking action and lets the disc absorb more blood and healing nutrients allowing it to heal more quickly.

Neck Traction - A special device is used to gently put the neck into extension while also reinforcing proper cervical curvature while the patient is lying on their back. This helps to restore the natural curvature of the neck by opening up the disc spaces and reducing the pressure on the nerves.
