Chiropractic
Most people associate chiropractors with neck and back pain. This is true but chiropractic may also help with headaches, shoulder, arm, wrist and hand, hip, knee and foot pain. A thorough chiropractor is an excellent choice to evaluate any kind of musculoskeletal pain, numbness, weakness, vertigo or activity limitations. Chiropractors have working relationships with medical specialists in internal medicine, neurology, neurosurgery and orthopedics will not hesitate to promptly refer a patient. I have X-ray facilities on site when needed.
Chiropractic influences the relationship between the structure and function of the human body. Mechanical, postural and repetitive stress may result in chronic pain and inflammation. Acute trauma (slips/ falls, auto wrecks, on-the-job injuries) may also cause sprains and strains with resulting pain and disability. Chiropractors are highly trained (4 years after undergraduate college) to perform adjustments also known as manual manipulation of the spine and and extremities. Chiropractic adjustments are very safe and effective. These adjustments help restore normal biomechanical motion. A body which has balanced posture and symmetrical flexibility and strength will generally be one with fewer complaints of pain. Adjunctive treatment such as massage, physiotherapy, stretching and exercise also help speed recovery.
Massage
Two excellent licensed massage therapists work at Bull Run Chiropractic Clinic. We offer 30 and 60 minute sessions at very competitive rates. Focused therapeutic massage is targeted for a specific condition. This may assist with blood and lymph circulation, reduce muscle spasm, increase range of motion, improve headache and promote healing. Relaxation, full body massage helps reduce tension and anxiety.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is an adjunctive or additional treatment to chiropractic and massage which may help to resolve an injury or condition. At Bull Run Chiropractic Clinic when appropriate to reduce swelling, inflammation, pain and muscle spasm we may use ice, ultrasound, electrotherapy or low level light therapy (laser and infrared). Heat may be used with degenerative, stiffening conditions. We have equipment to perform gentle flexion-distraction, a type of segmental traction on areas of the spine when there is signs of disc compression. We also help patients to learn home routines of stretching using assisted isolated stretching (AIS) and other methods.
Orthotics
Custom made orthotics are available at Bull Run Chiropractic Clinic. Posture can have a profound effect on pain symptoms and contribute to repetitive strain. This is especially true for people who participate in athletics (regardless of age) and those workers who have physical occupations. Lower extremity biomechanical faults such as flat feet and over pronation may cause painful conditions not only in the feet. Foot problems may may contribute to knee, hip and back pain. Orthotics help to reduce stress in the foot and limit its effect upstream in the body. We work with two different manufacturers to provide choice for maximum value and satisfaction.
