What to Expect from Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of your spine and helps to optimize the body and nervous system with a spinal adjustment. Our chiropractors apply specific techniques or use hand-held devices known as activators to alleviate your discomfort. Once your spine is in alignment, you will notice an improvement in how your nervous system functions, reduced pain, and increased mobility.
Our chiropractors will assess the alignment of your spine with digital x-rays and a hands on examination. During the evaluation, we will ask you about the goals that you are trying to achieve. Our chiropractors use spinal adjustments as part of treatment, which are performed several times a week in the early stages of care.
In conjunction wtih adjustments, a combination of therapies may be used to alleviate soft tissue issues. At Excelsior Chiropractic we offer the following therapy modalities:
Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to deliver deep heat into the tissues of your body and helps relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. This therapy helps increase circulation and can be used for various conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, and certain injuries.
Interferential Electrical Muscle Stimulation
This therapy uses electrical impulses to relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and help heal. IFC is used for many conditions, including chronic pain, muscle spasm, muscle strains and sprains, and more.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses light energy to reduce inflammation and promote healing. As a result, cold laser therapy increases circulation, reduces spasms, and improves the healing process. This safe and effective treatment is used for various conditions, including tennis/golfer elbow, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, sprains and strains, and much more.
Heat Therapy
Moist heat therapy relieves muscle tension and reduces stiffness. Heat helps relax muscles, increase circulation, and release toxins from the body. This type of therapy is often used to treat conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia and is easy to do both at our office and home to help you relax and reduce tension.
