Chiropractic Treatment Options
At Lifetime Chiropractic we employ a whole body approach to your chiropractic care. We understand the importance of chiropractic adjustments to the joints and bones in your body, but realize the benefit of stretches and exercises to strengthen you muscles and ligaments. This is why we approach your care in three phases with three distinct goals.
1) The goal in the first phase of care is pain reduction and symptom relief. Treatment during this phase may include physiotherapies along with chiropractic adjustments.
2) The second phase has more of an emphasis on balancing the muscles that support the injured area. You can expect to start implementing stretching exercises with your chiropractic adjustments.
3) In order to get long lasting benefits we enter a third phase that focuses on strengthening the spine and its supporting muscles. During this phase you can expect an increase in strengthening exercises and one on one instruction as part of a home care program.
Our patients present us with various injuries and because of this, we have many different treatment options. We offer Laser Therapy, which has been recently approved by the FDA as treatment for arthritis. Laser Therapy is also beneficial for extremity injuries like plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel. Other modalities we utilize are Ultrasound, Interferential, Ice Therapy and Heat Therapy. These are used for soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains and muscle spasms.
One therapy that distinguishes us from many other chiropractic clinics is the use of a traction-like table that is beneficial for conditions such as sciatica and disc herniations.
Often times there is more than one approach for treatment of a single condition. If one does not seem to be effective there are others we can implement.
