The most significant aspect of any chiropractic treatment is manipulation of the spine or joints of the extremities. This is called an adjustment or chiropractic manipulation. It is performed to improve range of motion, increase joint mobility, and promote normal function of the central nervous system. This adjustment is vital in restoring normal joint function and range of motion, improving overall joint health.

Neck pain, lower back pain, and headaches are the most common issues people seek chiropractic adjustment for. No special preparation is needed before a chiropractic adjustment, and sessions can be one-off or ongoing, depending on the needs of the patient. Contact us for more information.

Muscle stimulation or electrical stimulation may block the transmission of pain signals along nerves. Additionally, electrical stimulation has been shown to promote the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers.

Working with interferential current at different frequencies can change the therapy’s efficacy. Additionally, the pattern of an interferential current sweep can affect how much relief a patient can get. Call Island Breeze Chiropractic and Wellness Center for more information.

In order to fully understand what is happening in a patient’s musculoskeletal system, Dr. Evans employs various diagnostic methods. One of the most important is the X-ray, which gives her an indication of the alignment and structure of the bones in the body. With this information, she can plan her course of action to bring about positive results for the patient.

Most chiropractic adjustments can be performed without an X-ray. Likewise, X-rays should not be performed to diagnose soft tissue issues, if a patient might be pregnant, or to evaluate the degree of back pain a patient is experiencing. Call us for answers to all your X-ray questions.

Soft tissue techniques may include massage therapy, trigger point therapy, and myofascial stripping. These techniques are performed to decrease muscle spasms, reduce tension, and increase blood flow to the area, which removes toxins and supplies nutrients.

Massage has been shown to increase blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body. It has also been proven to reduce painful spasms and contractions of the muscles. If you’d like to learn more about our soft tissue techniques, contact Island Breeze Chiropractic and Wellness Center today.

Ultrasound is a deep heating therapy for resolving chronic inflammatory conditions. It has a micro massage effect that enhances fluid exchange to promote tissue healing. Ultrasound has been shown to improve local blood supply and stimulate reconstructive cells, providing rapid, initial wound repair.

Ultrasound therapy can be used to treat both chronic and temporary pain in various parts of the body. Best of all, these treatments are painless and relatively quick. For more information about ultrasound or any of our other therapies, just give us a call.

Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine. Special cups are applied to the skin with suction for a few minutes, then released. Cupping brings blood flow to the area, relaxes the muscles, and acts as a type of deep tissue therapy.

The cups used can be made of a variety of materials, from glass to bamboo, silicone, and earthenware. It dates back to ancient Egypt, China, and the Middle East. Call us for more information or to schedule a cupping appointment.

Laser therapy treatment helps reduce pain and inflammation, enhancing tissue healing—both in hard and soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, and even bones.

Low-level laser therapy has a diverse range of applications. From enhancing mobility of joints to relieving muscle pain, we use laser therapy to great success with our patients. Contact us to find out more.

Hot stone massage therapy helps dissolve tension, ease muscle stiffness, and increase circulation and metabolism. Hot stones, when coupled with massage, also help to expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. It is an excellent addition to chiropractic care and should be considered as a component of your routine treatment plan.

This therapy is widely practiced in a variety of environments from chiropractic offices to hotel spas. The stones themselves can also be used by a therapist to massage different areas of your body. Call us for more information.

Ice therapy reduces the inflammation and swelling that occurs after an injury. Ice can also act like a local anesthetic, numbing the sore tissues. Ice helps decrease pain/spasm reaction between the nerves and muscles.

It’s likely you’ve used ice to treat injuries or pain at home. The ice works by reducing blood flow to the area, which in turn reduces swelling and inflammation. Call our office to schedule your ice therapy appointment today.

This procedure can be performed either by the doctor’s hands or mechanically with the use of a table. It is commonly used to reduce pressure on the discs of the neck or lower back, relieving nerve pain, tissue inflammation, and pressure caused by herniated or bulging discs.

The table used in flexion distraction therapy is segmented and moves as the therapist manipulates your spine. The movement of the table, as well as the pressure, decompresses your nerves and erases tension.

This tape is used to promote proper form. It is applied so that when the muscles become fatigued, the tape helps to keep them in proper form for longer periods.

It is worth noting that rock tape/kinesiotape has not been clinically proven as effective for all injuries. When in doubt, please give our office a call, and we can guide you toward your ideal therapy method.
