Chiropractic Adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment is a manual therapeutic intervention aimed at restoring joint functionality and addressing neuromusculoskeletal issues. This evidence-based practice involves precise manual forces applied to specific joints, guiding them through their natural range of motion.
Benefits
What to expect: During an adjustment, Dr. Higgins will apply controlled, specific pressure to joints that show restricted movement patterns. You may hear a popping sound as gas is released from the joint – this is completely normal and usually provides immediate relief.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a therapeutic technique developed from biomechanical principles of fascial dynamics. This method involves targeted manipulation and sustained pressure on the myofascial tissue to alleviate restrictions and restore optimal function.
Benefits
What to expect: This hands-on technique involves applying sustained pressure into tight areas of connective tissue (fascia) to eliminate pain and restore motion. While sometimes uncomfortable during treatment, myofascial release typically results in significant relief afterward.
Shockwave Therapy (RPW)
Shockwave Therapy uses the power of acoustic waves to delve into the core of musculoskeletal issues, fostering tissue regeneration and boosting blood circulation. From alleviating tendinitis to addressing plantar fasciitis, our RPW services redefine non-invasive, state-of-the-art care.
Benefits
What to expect: During treatment, a handheld device delivers acoustic waves to the affected area. You’ll feel a tapping sensation that may cause mild discomfort, but the treatment typically takes only a few minutes. Most conditions require 3-5 sessions for optimal results.
Muscle Scraping
Experience the scientific precision of muscle scraping at our clinic—an advanced manual therapy designed to address soft tissue restrictions with specialized instruments. This evidence-based approach effectively detects and treats conditions like scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and chronic inflammation.
Benefits
What to expect: Using stainless steel tools of various shapes, Dr. Higgins will gently scrape over affected tissue after applying a lubricant. While potentially uncomfortable, the intensity is always adjusted to your tolerance level. The treated area may appear red afterward due to increased blood flow – a sign the technique is working.
Cupping/Dynamic Cupping
Cupping involves the application of suction cups, promoting vasodilation, increased blood flow, and a localized inflammatory response to aid in muscle relaxation and tension relief. Dynamic Cupping further refines the technique by incorporating cup movement, enhancing the therapeutic impact.
Benefits
What to expect: Specialized cups create suction on the skin surface, gently drawing tissues upward. In dynamic cupping, the cups may be moved across the skin for enhanced effect. Treatment may leave circular marks that fade within days – these indicate areas where stagnation or inflammation has been addressed.
NormaTec Compression Therapy
This state-of-the-art technology utilizes dynamic compression to enhance circulation and accelerate recovery post-exertion. The NormaTec system employs specialized sleeves that rhythmically inflate and deflate, mimicking the natural muscle pump to promote the removal of metabolic waste and reduce inflammation.
Benefits
What to expect: You’ll relax comfortably while specialized compression sleeves are placed on your legs, arms, or hips. The system will cycle through a series of compression patterns, creating a massage-like sensation. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes and can be scheduled as a standalone service or as part of your treatment plan.
Preventative and Rehabilitative Exercises
Facilitate your journey to wellness with our specialized Rehab and Preventative Care Exercise Prescription services. Our expert practitioners tailor exercise programs to address individual needs, focusing on rehabilitation from injuries and proactive measures to prevent future problems.
Benefits
What to expect: After a thorough assessment, Dr. Higgins will design a personalized exercise program that addresses your specific needs. You’ll be guided through proper technique and provided with a home exercise plan. Progress is monitored and exercises are advanced as you improve.
Weightlifting Form Correction
Have questions on how to lift safely and maximize potential? By aligning movements with anatomical considerations and functional biomechanics, our form correction service aims to enhance efficiency, reduce injury risk, and promote optimal force generation in your weightlifting practice.
Benefits
What to expect: Dr. Higgins will analyze your lifting technique, identify inefficiencies or potential injury risks, and provide corrective strategies. This service may include video analysis, hands-on guidance, and specific corrective exercises to address your individual movement patterns.
Sports Massage and Stretch
A sports massage and stretch is a specialized therapy designed to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery. During the massage, deep pressure is applied to target muscles, releasing tension and improving flexibility. Additionally, passive stretching techniques are incorporated to lengthen muscles and increase range of motion.
Benefits
What to expect: This service combines targeted deep tissue massage with assisted stretching to address your specific needs. The pressure and intensity are tailored to your preference and condition. Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes and can be scheduled regularly as part of your performance enhancement or recovery plan.
