Chiropractic Therapies For Every Ache & Pain:
Every injury and health issue is different, so we create your WellnessPlus Chiropractic & Massage therapy plan using the most effective and revolutionary chiropractic treatments to ensure a safe yet rapid recovery. These therapies may be prescribed alone or in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments. Innovative pain management and support therapies include: Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) As its name implies, in EMS a mild electrical impulse is sent through a damaged muscle to contract it, increasing circulation and promoting healing. Electric muscle stimulation is also useful in strengthening muscles. |

Cervical Traction
Used to heal neck pain, a cervical traction device gently holds and stretches the cervical (neck) portion of the spinal column. This repositions the vertebrae, relieves nerve pressure, and relaxes the muscles. Moist Heat Therapy Often used for sports injuries, heat therapy provides natural pain relief as it penetrates aching muscles, slows spasms, and reduces muscle stiffness. Heat packs increase circulation to the injured areas and promote healing. We may alternate moist heat and ice therapies for added effectiveness. |
Ice Therapy (Cryotherapy)
Also commonly used for injuries such as sprains and tendonitis, ice therapy or cryotherapy shrinks swollen tissues, reducing inflammation to promote healing. Cold therapy also triggers your body to release endorphins to help you feel better.
Acupuncture
A form of alternative medicine and a component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. Practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
Pregnancy Support
The doctors and massage therapists will collaborate with you to keep your spine and hips in alignment as the ligaments loosen and don’t hold them in place as well. The massage therapists also assist in providing comfort to the overworked muscles due to the change in weight distribution.
Massage therapy will be a regular part of your routine to keep your muscles relaxed and supple to accommodate your child as he or she grows.
