Traditional Chiropractic Care The majority of chiropractors are "traditional" chiropractors. What that means is that regardless of technique, traditional chiropractors help their patients feel better by reducing pain, decreasing muscular spasm, and increasing range of motion. By doing just those three things alone, traditional chiropractors are able to help their patients feel better. Should the symptoms return, there may be an underlying structural problem that has not been addressed with traditional care.
Structural Chiropractic Care
A growing number of Chiropractors focus on treatment beyond symptom relief. Even though you “feel fine” there may be underlying physical problems in your body that, left uncorrected, could lead to further deterioration of your health. To help explain what we do and how what we do is different, let’s first start off by defining what is considered normal structural spinal alignment and what is considered abnormal structural spinal alignment.
Kinesiotaping
Kinesio Taping is a technique based on the body's own natural healing process. This method of taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. It is also used for preventive maintenance, swelling, and to treat pain.
So much attention has been given to the importance of muscle function that the idea of treating the muscles in order to activate the body's own healing processwas the next step in managing many types of injuries. Using an elastic tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance. Employment of Kinesiotaping creates a totally new approach to treating nerves, muscles, and organs. The Kinesiotape is applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles, and to support muscles in movement on a 24hr/day basis. It is non-restrictive type of taping which allows for full range of motion.
