Improved Mobility
Effective treatment requires improving mobility in injured or arthritic joints and tissues. We accomplish this through adjustments using Cox and other spinal manipulation techniques, as well as muscle and soft tissue work.
3 Adjusting Techniques We Use
COX FLEXION DISTRACTION – A SPECIALIZED FORM OF DECOMPRESSION
Dr. Patterson is a specialist in this technique. Cox Flexion Distraction technique utilizes a special table to specifically and gently decompress the spine. This is one of the tools that allows Dr. Patterson to focus on patients over 50 and seniors. He believes it to be one of the most effective treatments for arthritic and degenerative spinal conditions. It can be used to effectively treat patients of all ages, particularly if they have nerve pain from disc herniations or other injury.
TRADITIONAL MANUAL MANIPULATION
Many people think of traditional manual manipulation when they hear the word Chiropractic. When the joint releases, gas escapes and produces a popping sound. Some people love it, some people hate it, others are scared or just don’t like the sound. While it is a safe and effective procedure for many conditions, it is not for everyone. We do not use manual manipulation on every patient. We never force a patient to have it performed if they have concerns.
INSTRUMENT ADJUSTING
Various instruments are often used in chiropractic. In our office we use an IQ instrument by Neuromechanical. It uses new technology that is computerized to detect when the optimum frequency of movement is achieved.
INTRODUCING
THE MOST ADVANCED COX TABLE EVER DESIGNED
We are pleased to announce the addition of the most advanced Cox decompression table ever designed, to our office! The Cox 8 Force Table is a state of the art instrument. Built in sensors send data to a computer, giving the doctor real-time information about the amount of decompressive force being applied.
Discuss your case with the doctor to see if you are a candidate for treatment.
Do you work on muscles and fascia?
Yes! We use a variety of techniques to treat muscles and other soft tissue. People often have knots and adhesions in the soft tissue that they do not even know about. If these issues are not addressed, adjustments may not hold as well. Soft tissue changes are often a source of chronic pain and irritation.
Common techniques we utilize are:
- Massage bars/rollers
- Active Release techniques
- Myofascial tools for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM)
- Ischemic Pressure
- Kinetic Taping
