Extremity Manipulation
Often people assume that Chiropractors only adjust the joints of the spine. Every joint in the body can become misaligned and lose normal motion and function. Extremity adjusting can be very specific and deliberate especially when using an instrument to deliver the precise line of drive to correct the dysfunction of that joint. It is very safe and effective. These joints include the ribs, shoulder and elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, as well as the hands and toes.
Spinal Manipulation
Spinal manipulation is one technique from the spectrum of manual therapies that is most often used to treat pain in the neck or back, although it also can relieve discomforts of the musculoskeletal system, which includes all of our joints and muscles throughout the body. This therapy uses mobilization and manipulation techniques to help restore full movement to restricted joints, as well normal elasticity to muscles and other soft tissues. Restoring mechanical and soft tissue balance benefits the structures of the entire body and its physiological mechanisms.
THE REMEDY:
Impulse Adjusting Technique
Dr. Wendy uses the Impulse Adjusting Instrument in the care of her patients. This patented and FDA registered device was specifically created to deliver gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities to relieve pain and restore function. The Impulse Adjusting Instrument is controlled by micro-computer circuitry housed within the device that produces a controlled force that chiropractors can use to treat different areas of the body.
Infratonic Therapy
When your body's cells become traumatized by injury, surgery, chemical attack, or even strong emotions, they often go into shock or cellular trauma. The sound waves of Infratonic therapy dissolve cellular trauma, helping to stop excess inflammation and relieve pain quickly.
Intersegmental Traction
This treatment separates your vertebrae to allow the blood flow through to your disc, it exercises your muscles and ligaments, while stimulating important acupuncture points. It is equivalent to exercising 45 minutes on your own.
