Our Approach to Treatment
We use many different types of therapies:
Deep Tissue Robotic Laser Therapy: The laser therapy works as an accelerant for the body’s normal healing processes, by way of the different wavelengths of this light therapy.
Knee decompression: The decompression increases the joint space of the knee, allowing for more nutrient and fluid flow through the joint, and decrease of the symptoms of a compressed joint.
“Atomic Spin” Technology: This type of electric stimulation works to relax muscle spasm and decrease pain and inflammation in and around the knee.
Specific Metabolic and Anti-Inflammatory Support: Nutritional and topical options provide anti-inflammatory support and have been shown to support the health of the internal joint cartilage and structures as well.
Custom Foot Orthotics: These inserts provide a stable and supported “foundation” to the body through the feet. With supported arches, the foot can then function more optimally, and therefore the biomechanical benefits transfer up through the ankles, and then the knees, and beyond, all the way up through the spine.
Braces: These supports provide stability and pain relief so you can participate in your daily activities.
Chiropractic adjustments, including extremity adjustments: The adjustments restore spinal and neuromusculoskeletal (joint) alignment, integrity and proper function, allowing the body to fully express the innate healing potential.
What to Expect
The First Appointment
First, we start with a work-up and examination. We assess structural factors such as the integrity of the arches, spine/pelvic/knee X-rays, and chiropractic examination of the spine, pelvis, and posture and gait cycle. We may delve into lifestyle factors too, such as diet, and inflammatory toxins that could contribute to degenerating joints. We also use different orthopedic tests to help diagnose the problems in and around the knee.
The Second Appointment
Once the examination and assessment are complete, we’ll bring you back for a report of findings, where we’ll go over the following:
1. What’s wrong?
2. Can we help?
3. How long will it take?
4. What does insurance cover and not cover?
At that point, with a game plan laid out, you’ll let us know if you feel like you’re in the right place, and it sounds good to you. If not, we’ll do our best to get you somewhere that we think can help. If you choose to begin the care options we have here, we’ll have a suggested treatment plan ready to go so you can get started right away!
Chiropractic got Me Back to an Active Lifestyle!
I came to see my doctor in the fall of 2009 with joint pain primarily in my knee and shoulder as I am an active person so tend to be pretty hard on my body, so was looking at just overall wellness. My knee pain had been going on for over a year after a marathon, and the shoulder pain came shortly after. The knee pain would come and go based on how far I was running and the shoulder pain was fairly constant, but would become aggravated with certain exercises.
I had spoken to my doctor about my knee pain and his answer was to “quit running” and for my shoulder taking medication and long periods of rest. These options were not sufficient for me because they prevented me from leading the active lifestyle that I love to do. I am also sensitive to medication and wanted to address the pain vs. just mask it with medication.
My doctor provided me with different therapy options to allow me to get back to my activities as soon as possible, whether it was with adjustments, kinesio tape or electrical stimulation treatments. Also, she gave me exercises I could do on my own to help treat the problems. She worked with me until the issues were fixed! My care opened my eyes to the different types of treatments for various issues and the importance of taking care of your body (and not just from a nutrition and fitness standpoint!)
About 6 months after I started seeing my doctor I was rear-ended in a car accident. The accident seemed minor but had a severe headache starting the following day. I didn’t hesitate to head right in to see my doctor and she was able to do adjustments and get me feeling back to 100% after the accident. My doctor has provided me treatments to keep me healthy so that I can continue to lead an active lifestyle and also keep me healthy so I can continue to work hard with my clients.
Before getting treatment I only thought chiropractors provided services to help with back problems. Don’t only seek out chiropractic services for just back issues. Let them know about other stuff going on and chances are there is something they can do to help!
