Chiropractic Adjustments
Known as a joint manipulation/mobilization, restores proper motion to joints that don’t move as well as they should. The doctor will put a quick low force into the joint in the direction of the motion restriction and a “pop” sometimes will occur followed by pain-free movement. This is the most common evidence-based Chiropractic treatment used by all practitioners.
Tight muscles can cause nagging pain and prevent you from doing the sports and activities you love to do. Working with a Rancho Bernardo chiropractor, you can address these issues using proven methods such as:
• Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM): gua sha scraping that assists in desensitizing the area to pain and break-up muscle knots. • Pin and Stretch: Similar to Active Release Technique (ART) where the muscle is stretched while also being massaged to promote flexibility, blood flow, and pain-relief. • Hypervolt Massage: Hyperice Hypervolt massage gun therapy to promote blood flow and reduce pain.
An important part of Chiropractic treatment is the manual therapy because it de-sensitizes the body to pain and allows for improved pain-free movement.
Chiropractic Techniques
• Diversified: The most common Chiropractic treatment taught in Chiropractic school and the gold-standard of care. This is also known as the Palmer Package. It involves the Doctor putting a high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) force into a joint to restore proper mobility. This can be done in both the extremities and the spine.
• Activator: For those where manual adjusting is contraindicated a device called an activator can be used to obtain the same results in restoring proper motion to the joints of the body.
