Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic treatment aims to alleviate joint motion restrictions in the spine, pelvis, and limbs to restore normal range of motion and alignment. According to scientific literature, adjustments to vertebral and extremity joints trigger a physiological response in the central and peripheral nervous systems that reduce muscular tension and promote structural and biomechanical integrity. This leads to a reduction in inflammation and pain.

Effective chiropractic care also accounts for various internal factors such as muscular imbalances, nutrition and mental health, as well as external influences such as work environment, activities of daily living and climate. By considering these aspects, chiropractors can provide comprehensive care to promote overall health and injury recovery. If you're seeking effective musculoskeletal treatment, our clinic offers customized care to meet your unique needs.

Sciatica (Radiculopathy)

A condition characterized by pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

A condition caused by abnormal motion or alignment of the sacroiliac joints, resulting in pain and discomfort in the lower back, hips, and legs.

Mechanical Low Back Pain

Low back pain caused by issues with the spine's mechanics, such as sprains, strains, or disc degeneration.

Neck Pain

Pain or discomfort in the neck area, often caused by issues with the spine, muscles, or nerves.

Adjustment Techniques

Chiropractic adjustments are a non-invasive, drug-free approach to improving neuromusculoskeletal system function. Dr. Sanders uses several adjustment techniques to help restore proper alignment, relieve pain, and enhance overall well-being.

Adjustment Techniques

Diversified

The most common manual technique used to adjust the spine, pelvis, and other joints in the body.

Thompson Technique

A treatment table with a weighing mechanism is used to add tension and hold the patient in a slightly lifted position before a specific impulse is delivered in the direction needed to correct misaligned spinal or pelvic joints.

Activator Method

A gentle, handheld instrument is used to deliver a specific impulse to the fixated spinal vertebra or joint to restore normal movement and function.

ArthroStim & Vibracussor

These instruments transmit low-force, rapid motions through a cushioned end piece to increase joint range of motion by inducing a relaxation response in the surrounding musculature.

Flexion-Distraction

This gentle, non-surgical technique decreases vertebral joint pressure and is primarily used to treat disc bulges and herniations in the neck and lower back. Our office features the newest model of the most widely researched flexion-distraction equipment and technique, the Cox 8 Table.

Adjunct Therapies

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer a range of adjunct therapies to complement and enhance the healing process. Our adjunct therapies include massage therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound therapy, and more. These therapies can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and promote relaxation, helping you feel your best.

Adjunct Therapies

Low Level Laser Therapy (Cold Laser)

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as Cold Laser Therapy, is a non-invasive therapy that uses low levels of light to promote healing and reduce pain and inflammation. Our chiropractors may use LLLT to treat conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and back pain.

Myofascial Trigger Point Release

Myofascial Trigger Point Release is a soft tissue therapy that can help relieve pain and improve mobility by releasing trigger points, or tight areas in the muscles that can cause pain and discomfort. Our chiropractors may use this technique to treat conditions such as headaches, fibromyalgia, and back pain.

Mechanical Traction (Spinal Decompression)

Mechanical Traction, also known as Spinal Decompression, is a non-surgical therapy that can help relieve pain and improve mobility by gently stretching the spine. Our chiropractors may use a specialized table to apply controlled traction to the spine, which can help treat conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.

ALINE Foot Orthotics

ALINE Foot Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts designed to improve foot alignment, reduce pain, and enhance performance. Our chiropractors may recommend ALINE Foot Orthotics to patients with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and shin splints.

Interterential Current (IFC)

Interferential Current (IFC) is a type of electrical stimulation therapy that can help relieve pain and improve circulation by sending electrical currents through the affected area. Our chiropractors may use IFC to treat conditions such as muscle spasms, arthritis, and back pain.

Heat & Cold Packs

Heat and Cold Packs are a simple and effective way to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Our chiropractors may recommend using heat packs to soothe sore muscles and promote relaxation, or cold packs to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Home Guidance

Our home guidance services provide customized recommendations for optimizing your home environment to support your health and wellness goals. Our team will work with you to create a plan that fits your unique needs and lifestyle.

Home Guidance

Posture Correction Exercises

Posture Correction Exercises are designed to improve posture and reduce pain by strengthening the muscles that support the spine. Our chiropractors may recommend specific exercises to address issues such as forward head posture, rounded shoulders, or excessive spinal curvature.

Stretching

Stretching is an important part of maintaining flexibility and reducing the risk of injury. Our chiropractors may recommend specific stretches to help alleviate pain and improve range of motion in affected areas.

Ergonomic Advice

Ergonomic Advice can help reduce pain and prevent injuries by optimizing your workspace to promote good posture and proper body mechanics. Our chiropractors may offer advice on how to set up your desk, chair, and computer to minimize strain on your back, neck, and shoulders.

Heat/Ice Application

Heat and Ice Application can be an effective way to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Our chiropractors may recommend using heat or ice to treat acute injuries or chronic conditions such as arthritis or back pain.

Foam Rolling

Foam Rolling is a self-massage technique that can help release tight muscles and improve mobility. Our chiropractors may recommend foam rolling as part of a home exercise program to help alleviate pain and improve flexibility.

Dietary Modifications

Dietary Modifications can play an important role in reducing inflammation and promoting overall health and wellness. Our chiropractors may offer advice on dietary changes to support your chiropractic care plan, such as reducing sugar and processed foods or increasing intake of anti-inflammatory foods.
