Family Practice
There are a variety of health conditions that can benefit from the use of a chiropractor and this is something that you can involve the entire family in. Often children and young adults can benefit if they are involved in sports, and this can also help to relieve stress. There are many healing procedures that can be performed that are noninvasive and do not require the use of medications.
Many people do not think about how hard children are on their bodies. A child’s spine can be very small and very delicate. A parent can support good posture and help their child perform their best with the use of chiropractor services.
Chiropractic adjustments can benefit anyone whether they have specific problems or not.
Sports Injuries
Athletes suffer many injuries from forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training, and failure to warm up properly. Spinal Axis helps in relieving athletes’ pain and helping them heal faster after injuries.
During spinal manipulation, your Dr. Foster will place you in different positions and perform a manual impulse to an affected joint. This releases pressure in the joint and aligns muscles and joints so they work the way they’re supposed to. Regular visits will promote quicker recovery after games and training as well as better balance and overall performance.
ProAdjuster Technology
The ProAdjuster is a technology that allows chiropractic adjustments through gentle percussion with no twisting or ‘popping’.
ProAdjusters are the most advanced chiropractic analysis and treatment instrument on the market. They help us to analyze each segment of your spine for position, motion, and function.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy is a non-invasive method to help reduce chronic and acute pain. Being FDA cleared, this treatment is safe and side effect free for a wide range of conditions. As an alternative to surgery, relieve pain and stiffness with proven results and no anesthetics required.
Generally seeing results after 2 to 5 treatments, your therapist or doctor will develop a treatment plan that is optimal for your condition. For over 20 years cold laser therapy has been used for numerous national, professional and collegiate, athletes and teams worldwide.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests.
The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology Taping is a rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints. Latex-free and wearable for days at a time, Kinesiology Tape is safe for patients ranging from pediatric to geriatric.
The tape is specifically applied to the patient based upon their needs after an evaluation. With the utilization of single “I” strips or modifications in the shape of an “X”, “Y” or other specialized shapes as well as the direction and amount of stretch placed on the tape at time of application, Kinesiology Tape can be applied in hundreds of ways. This treatment has the ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce pain and inflammation, optimize performance, prevent injury and promote good circulation and healing.
