Chiropractic adjustments align the spine and regulate the nervous system
Chiropractic spinal and extremity adjustments help alleviate painful musculo-skeletal symptoms and correct the underlying cause to these episodes. Painful neck or back episodes are usually the clue that there is an underlying problem effecting the rest of the body. Neck pain can often cause shoulder compensations ultimately effecting the arms. Back pain can cause painful sensations in the legs. So treating one often helps the other
Myofascial release is a way to reset tight spasm muscles and re-establish normal contracting and relaxing patterns. Very effective when used in conjunction with Chiropractic adjustments. Keeping tight muscles from pulling the spine out alignment.
Muscle stimulation is used to help muscles relax. Electric impulses stimulate muscle contraction using glucose stored with in the muscle. By pumping out the stored glucose this allows spasm muscles to relax, decreasing inflammation and pain.
