Joint Mobilization / Manipulation

We utilize gentle joint manipulation or "adjustment" techniques to the spine or other areas in the body in order to restore joint function. This can also reduce pressure on spinal nerves and relieve symptoms in local and peripheral parts of the body. Patients often hear a "popping" or "cracking" sound. Don't worry, the sound you hear is simply gas being released in the joint from negative pressure in the capsule during its motion. Depending on patient preference or type of injury, we may utilize a mobilization technique instead. This is a slow, gradual movement of the joint, which in most cases does not produce a "popping" or "cracking" sound. Remember, joint's job is to move through its entire range of motion, however, sometimes it needs a little manual assistance to get there.

Myofascial Release / Soft Tissue Mobilization

We use cutting edge soft tissue techniques to properly restore muscle and nerve function, commonly used after acute or chronic injuries, surgeries or otherwise. These include:

Control swelling and inflammation
Reduce effects of improper scar formation
Avoids other muscular compensations

Just like joint manipulation, soft tissue treatment is graded and tailored to individual's needs and tolerance.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) / Active Rehabilitation

Our approach to active rehabilitation is based on research derived from developmental kinesiology out of Czech Republic called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) . Our human development is most critical during the first two years of life. We learn to integrate our body with our nervous system and then fine-tune it. During later years, injuries, illness and sedentary lifestyle force our bodies to deviate from our naturally programmed motor patterns that we innately learned. This leads to further dysfunction. Our goal is to prime the system and re-learn optimal motor activation and coordination in order to then systematically program the most efficient biomechanics.

We incorporate NeuX Technology in order to relieve pain, reduce injury, improve fitness and increase human performance. NeuX is a very powerful muscle stimulator that can be used in conjunction with manual treatment as well as active rehabilitation. For more information on this technology go to www.neuxtec.com.
