“Pain gets a lot less frightening when you know what the cause is and you have a clear path to recovery”

-Dr. Robert Lutz

When these waves penetrate damaged tissue or areas of inflammation, it activates a natural response within the body as if a new injury has occurred. This immediately kickstarts the biological healing process by sending healing agents to help reduce inflammation and repair damaged tissue in the injured area.

Ultimately, the goal of this treatment is to “awaken” dormant cells that are critical for healing – without the need for invasive procedures or medication.

Chiropractic Treatment Options

Pain Relief, Simplified

Depending on your condition, we may offer any combination of the following treatments to help you achieve relief and recovery as quickly as possible:

Chiropractic Manipulation

Most traditional chiropractic clinics focus on long-term treatments that require extensive in-office appointments, costing patients both time and money. Our approach is to quickly identify the underlying cause of the issue that’s causing your discomfort, treat it, and teach you how to minimize any reoccurrence through specific exercises and principles.

Each patient is unique, requiring equally distinctive treatment programs. The key to the evidence-based model of chiropractic care is to diagnose not only the symptoms you have but also why you have them. At Motion Chirotherapy we take the time necessary to uncover and understand your condition and then do what it takes to correct it.

GRIP APPROACH

Global Rehabilitation & Injury Prevention or GRIP is a rehabilitation system based on a full body perspective. These highly specific exercises allow you to gain range of motion, strength and stability to unlock proper global patterns.

This allows you to overcome pain caused by faulty movement patterns and prevent future injuries. The GRIP approach utilizes developmental kinesiology, current fascia research and modern pain science to get you out of pain quickly.

McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy

The McKenzie method is a standardized assessment tool that classifies movement problems leading to appropriate treatment. Without a full range of motion and proper use of joints, our backs, necks and joints become stiff and less mobile, leading to pain, greater loss of movement and dysfunction.

MDT effectively treats conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, radiating leg pain, arm pain/numbness, and sciatica. MDT is also effective at classifying and treating the extremities such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle, and even TMJ (jaw).

One of the key components of this method is patient education. This method utilizes education to train the patient on proper posture and ergonomics and provides the patient with exercises to treat their own pain. It is directed toward patient self-treatment methods, therefore making the patient less reliant on the doctor for relief of their symptoms.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is derived from a technique pioneered by Drs. Vaclav Vojta, a Czechoslovakian neurologist, and Pavel Kolar, PhD, PT. Dr. Vojta developed a unique therapy that was originally intended to treat children with cerebral palsy. Since its inception in the 1960s, it has grown and expanded and is now used with professional athletes, children with movement-based developmental disorders, as well as expectant mothers.

Professor Pavel Kolar further evolved and expanded and refined this technique to make it yield faster results. The purpose of the technique is to promote proper activation and coordination of the neuromuscular system. This has yielded amazing success in treating pain syndromes as well as various neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, scoliosis, and even stroke cases.

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is an advanced manual technique where the therapist is able to effectively address soft tissue dysfunctions (i.e. tight, stringy muscles) with the assistance of a contoured instrument.

The instruments give clinicians a mechanical advantage by reducing stress on the hands, magnifying abnormalities (e.g. restrictions, scars, adhesions), and focusing forces through a small area with less friction than using the thumb or fingers.

Our treatment approach is designed to activate the body’s natural healing response by stimulating targeted inflammation. This increases blood flow and encourages collagen production, which supports the proper remodeling and repair of soft tissue. The result? More efficient healing, reduced overall treatment time, and a faster return to doing what you love.

Functional Rehabilitation

Functional Rehabilitation consists of a variety of corrective and performance exercises with the goal of improving your movement and function in everyday living. Exercises are custom-tailored to each individual’s goals and lifestyle.

Once movement dysfunction(s) have been identified from our thorough evaluation and movement assessment, a custom-tailored corrective and performance exercise program will be implemented with the goal of returning the patient/client to their regular activities of daily living while maintaining a pain-free state.

When a particular muscle is not doing its job correctly (inhibition), other structures have to pick up the slack causing them to become over-stressed. This is called altered motor control and can be due to many factors, including frequent sitting, sedentary lifestyle, poor postural habits and previous injury. This causes undue tension in aforementioned over-stressed muscles, ultimately leading to pain and injury. Corrective exercises are designed to curb altered motor control by stimulating the inhibited muscle(s) in functional patterns, which translates to more efficient movement in sport and everyday activities; thus, increasing performance while decreasing the risk for injury.

functional range conditioning

Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) is a system which applies scientific principles to the acquisition and maintenance of functional mobility, joint resilience, joint health and longevity.

Musculoskeletal health depends on movement, and the FRC system provides a continuum to optimize the human body from pain all the way to peak performance.
