Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises 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. 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyhEdEMxknc

Lifestyle Advice

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 our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbDBNW6RQOY

Photons from our laser affect the tissue at the cellular level. The cold laser enters the tissue, alters cell membrane permeability, and at a cellular level is absorbed in the mitochondria of the cell creating physiological changes such as:

1. Rapid cell growth. The laser accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.

2. Faster wound healing. The laser stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. The reduction in recovery time is an important consideration.

3. Increased metabolic activity. Helps the body increase output of specific enzymes, greater oxygen to blood cells and more effective immune response are induced by laser.

4. Reduced fibrous tissue formation. The laser reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or following surgery.

5. Anti-inflammatory action. The laser reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give improved joint mobility.

6. Increased vascular activity. The laser stimulates lymph and blood circulation, to allow the affected tissue to have the best possible circulation.

7. The laser is also used as (needleless acupuncture)….and I have found to be more effective….because it not only activates/stimulates the acupunture meridians….and at the same time….puts photonic energy into the body…that it can use.

8. The laser can also be used to do Trigger point therapy…..again it is found to be more effective then manual methods because it does not elicit soreness…and tenderness during the treatment……and it is again putting useable photonic energy into the body which it can use to heal.
