ELEMENTS OF CARE
Chiropractic adjustments help restore normal joint motion in the spine and extremities, minimizing mechanical sources of inflammation and pain. More profoundly, chiropractic therapy improves the tone and balance of the body's nervous system. Adjustments are performed by hand or with the assistance of various instruments. Dr. Adkins is proficient in a broad array of techniques, allowing a diversified approach specific to each patient's particular condition.
Massage techniques are used to lengthen tight tissues, increase blood flow, encourage lymphatic drainage, and improve ranges of motion.
Electrical muscle stimulation reduces local inflammation and pain, fatigues muscle spasm, and shortens healing time to injured tissue.
Cold Laser therapy modifies tissue metabolism, speeding and optimizing specific healing responses. It has a variety of applications, both local and systemic. Laser therapy is oftern used with post-surgical patients and with nutritional therapy models.
Percussive therapy is used to release myofascial torque, particularly with cranial adjusting techniques. It also increases circulation and improves lymphatic drainage.
Nutritional protocols are enlisted to support the healing process. Detoxification strategies in particular are a vital part of most comprehensive care plans.
