Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Romanski, Dr. Trieb, Dr. Verna, Dr. Jones, and Dr. Beaulieu have years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.
How Will Our Doctors Adjust and Care for You?
Our Doctors are accomplished at many techniques from traditional "hands on" adjusting to a very gentle light force instrument known as the "Activator". Spinal adjustments are the cornerstone of the chiropractic health care industry and the goal for each of our patients is to restore proper movement and function of your spine and joints. There are 132 joints in your spine and when they are not moving properly they affect the surrounding tissues and spinal nerves which cause inflammation, decreased function and pain where nerves extend to.
During the report of findings we will go over the results of any x-rays and tests to determine where the problems are and make the necessary adjustments with any of several different techniques (as described below) in order to restore proper function and healing.
- Manual Full Spine Hands on Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments started with hands on manipulation which is usually pain free and very productive at restoring spinal joints to their proper function. This technique involves a gentle but firm pressure to an area and restores it to its original and natural position.
- Activator: A hand held low force instrument used to help restore spinal balance in a safe and comfortable manner.
- Cox Flexion Decompression: A technique used for the lower spine (Lumbar) which uses a special table to pull the bulging disc(s) away from the spinal cord.
- Arthro Stim: Electronic handheld spring floating device used to deliver a percussive force by increasing or decreasing pressure to align the spine, extremities and joints.
- Sacro-Occipital Technique: A series of different size blocks used to properly align the spine using no force.
- Thompson Drop Technique: A spring loaded table used to move certain spinal segments that will help improve the areas being adjusted without additional force being used.
- Intersegmental Traction Table, AKA "The Rolling Table": Gently reestablishing the normal ranges of the spine, intersegmental traction tables are also used to help bring about muscle relaxation and the reduction of muscle spasms. Using a dual roller which moves up and down, the muscles on either side of the spine are stimulated. Extremely relaxing, the "rolling table" works wonders for healing.
Recently some media attention has been given to certain risks that come from chiropractic neck manipulation techniques. We hope the following info graph puts some of those concerns to rest, but if you still have questions about the safety of any technique we use, please do ask. Your safety and comfort level with our services is our #1 priority.
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. 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.
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and to reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
Additional Services Available
Chiropractors use many different treatments to help you heal your body and to get you on the right track for a healthy and pain-free lifestyle. We offer different therapies to help you with treatments and to help your doctor easily and comfortably deliver chiropractic adjustments needed such as:
EMS(Electro-Muscle Stimulation): EMS is a popular, effective, and safe method for of muscle stimulation. It is used for sports training, muscle atrophy or injury rehabilitation, and for cosmetic appearance improvement of muscles. EMS works by generating impulses of current which are delivered through electrodes directly onto the skin the proximity of the muscle to be stimulated. By mimicking the normal impulses created via the central nervous system, EMS causes muscles to contract, thus generating muscle memory and use. Electro-Muscle Stimulation has been cited often in recent years by sport scientists, trainers, and coaches as a complimentary technique for traditional sports training.
Ultrasound: A form of deep heat therapy which is used to speed up the healing process by relaxing muscle spasms, increasing the blood flow, to help in massaging damage to tissues when the high frequency sound waves are administered to a particular area.
Dry Needling : Trigger-point dry needling consists of a procedure where a fine needle or acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle. It targets trigger points -- hyperirritable spots palpable as nodules in the taut bands of skeletal muscles. Dry Needling stimulates a trigger point in a skeletal muscle. and can help release the trigger point, relieving pain and/or improving your movement. Dry needling can reduce muscle tension and improve pain. The technique also can help with muscular issues that don't involve trigger points, such as rotator cuff damage. The needle creates a tiny lesion in the tissue, promoting blood flow and healing to the area.
Therapeutic Stretching :Therapeutic stretching is a systematic plan of body movements that aims to improve or restore physical function. It can include a variety of exercises, such as balance, strengthening, range of motion, endurance, and plyometric activities. The goal of therapeutic exercise is to help people maintain a state of well-being, correct impairments, and restore muscular and skeletal function
Shockwave Therapy: Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing process. It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue. Shockwave therapy has two main modes of action which will help with persistent tendon pain. First the shockwaves work to desensitize nerve endings which will often give an immediate reduction in pain. Secondly, and often most importantly, the shockwaves cause controlled micro-trauma (microscopic damage) to the tissues which encourages the body to respond by increasing the blood circulation and metabolism in the affected area. This will activate and accelerate the body’s own healing response. The shockwaves can also ‘breakdown’ disorganized tissue and calcifications
Cold Laser treatment, also known as "low-level-laser-therapy", or "LLLT", is a form of pain therapy that is administered by a qualified therapist or doctor. Typical uses include treatment for back pain, muscle spasms, arthritis pain, elbow pain, muscle strain, and many other conditions.
