Spinal Manipulation Therapy
This is the classic "adjustment" that chiropractors are known for. A quick force is applied to a joint that allows for joint movement, muscle relaxation, and a reset of the nervous system. Often a "cavitation" is heard, which is a popping or cracking sound as the joint releases the pressure it's been holding. I use a manual diversified technique, but also utilize a drop table or activator as needed.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Likened to a sports massage, multiple techniques are utilized to release muscles that are contributing to joint dysfunction because muscles cross joints and allow them to move. Active release, cross-friction, and ischemic compression techniques are all utilized.
IASTM
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization uses a stainless steel tool to work on tendons, ligaments, scars, or fascia. This breaks down adhesions, improves range of motion, increases bloodflow, and promotes healing.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses suction on fascia to increase tissue mobility, improve bloodflow, and relieve tension. It can be really useful to release the more superficial tissues before working on the deeper muscles.
Joint Mobilizations
Joint mobilizations involve gentle slow oscillations to joints to promote movement.
Extremity manipuation technique
Extremity manipulations are adjustments for joints that are not in the spine, such as ankles, wrists, knees, etc.
Rocktape
RockTape kinesiology tape can aid in soft tissue recovery, accelerate hematoma healing, or reduce pain by enhancing proprioception.
Exercise
Rehab exercises are prescribed as your active contribution to recovery to complement the passive care you receive in the clinic. This can involve stretching, mobility training, strength training, or cardiovascular training.
