Chiropractors are experts in the musculoskeletal system, which encompasses the body’s joints, muscles, and nervous system. They use hands-on techniques and adjustments to improve joint function and alleviate pain, while also focusing on muscle health to ensure proper movement and support.

By addressing issues within the nervous system, chiropractors help optimize the communication between the brain and body, promoting overall well-being and functional health. Their holistic approach not only targets immediate discomfort but also enhances long-term health and mobility

Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on ensuring the health and comfort for the mother during pregnancy. By addressing alignment issues in the spine and pelvis, chiropractors help to alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, sciatica, and headaches. This care also supports the body’s natural ability to adapt to the changes occurring during pregnancy, promoting overall wellness and balance.

One specialized technique used in prenatal chiropractic care is the Webster Technique. This specifically targets the pelvis and sacrum to reduce tension and improve alignment. The goal is to create more space in the uterus, which can help with optimal fetal positioning and potentially make labor and delivery easier. Many women find this technique beneficial for managing pregnancy discomforts and preparing for a smoother birth experience.

Radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. Radial shockwaves are emitted in a radial pattern from a handheld device, allowing for a broad treatment area. This method is particularly effective for conditions involving tendons, muscles, and other soft tissues.

RSWT works by promoting increased blood flow and reducing pain. This enhanced circulation helps to accelerate the healing process and can break down calcified deposits. The treatment is known for its ability to target chronic conditions that have not responded well to other therapies, making it a valuable option for patients with persistent pain and injuries

Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF) therapy, specifically using the Stimpod NMS460 system by Alignamed, is a non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate chronic pain and neuropathy. This therapy uses electromagnetic waves to target affected nerves, promoting natural nerve functionality and restoring intra-neural communication pathways. The treatment is known for its fast onset of action and long-term relief without side effects.

During a PRF session, short bursts of electromagnetic waves are sent through the skin, which travel along the nerve axons to the spinal dorsal horn. This process helps to reduce pain and inflammation, treating conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, chronic headaches, and diabetic neuropathy. The treatment is easy to administer and has been backed by multiple clinical trials, ensuring its efficacy and safety.

Myofascial cupping is a therapy that combines the traditional practice of cupping with modern myofascial techniques. Using specially designed cups, a therapist creates suction on your skin, which helps to lift and separate the fascial layers. This increased blood flow and gentle stretch can help to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and alleviate pain.

This treatment can be particularly effective for conditions like chronic muscle pain, trigger points, and even scar tissue. The suction works to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.

So, if you’re dealing with nagging muscle tightness or old injuries, myofascial cupping can be a game-changer for getting you back to feeling your best.
