Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic health care focuses primarily on spinal function and its relationship to the nervous system and overall health by removing any neurological interference in the body, which can prevent the body from functioning at its optimum level. The science of chiropractic is based on the premise that good health depends, in part, on a normally functioning nervous system. Chiropractic principle emphasizes that the body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. The body’s functions are controlled and coordinated by the brain, spinal cord and the nerves that branch off them and travel throughout the body innervating (supplying) and controlling cells, tissues, organs and organ systems.
Rehabilitation
There are many forms of rehabilitation (rehab) which can help with physical, mental, or cognitive issues. Rehab after a physical injury is a crucial part of your body getting back or even remaining at its optimal performance.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a form of treatment used to restore and improve overall function of injured areas of the body. The types of modalities/therapies used with physiotherapy include massage, cold, heat, electrical stimulation (E-stim), exercises, etc.
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy (MT) has been around for over 3,000 years. Massage originated in several regions such as: China, Egypt, Rome and India. MT is an alternative form of therapy used to manipulate the soft tissues (muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, etc) of the body through over 200 massage modalities/techniques. MT gives a patient/client an alternative to the more contemporary forms of medicine. Especially, in cases of conditions with musculoskeletal causes rather than the use of drugs or invasive procedures to relieve muscle pain and restrictions affecting range of motion. MT also has the following benefits:
- Relieves muscle pain/tendonitis due to repetitive use.
- Reduces pain and stress naturally by releasing endorphins (the body's own feel good hormone) into the body and decreases cortisol levels (a hormone that is released when you are constantly stressed).
- Helps to relieve headache pains (like with tension and migraine headaches).
- Improves joint range of motion (ROM) and flexibility by relaxing and lengthening tight muscles.
- Stimulates the lymphatic system to aid in the removal of toxins, foreign invaders (antigens) and increase the flow of lymph.
- Improves blood circulation.
- Helps to speed up recovery time of soft tissue injuries.
- Helps to loosen adhesions or scar tissue of soft tissue following injuries or surgery, which helps to improve joint ROM.
Vacuum Cupping Therapy
Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine that can help the following:
- Relieve Pain
- Reduce Inflammation
- Relax & Lengthen Tight Muscles/Fascia
- Improve Blood Circulation
- Improve Lymph Flow within Lymphatic Vessels
Vacuum cupping has the same affect accept it involves the use of a machine which creates the suction.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling (DN) is not acupuncture. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and is considered a way of life in countries like China. Dry Needling was established in England around 1930s. It came to the United States around the 1950s. Acupuncture uses fine filament needles are place in very specific locations called acupoints to help treat a multitude of human aliments. DN uses fine filament needles, but they are placed non-specific areas of neuro-muscular irritation that can cause dysfunction. FYI, a dry needle is smaller than the size of a medical syringe needle or sewing needle. For example, a trigger point is a hyperirritable point/knot within muscle fibers. Trigger points can cause muscle pain as well as reduce range of motion though out the body.

You will begin to understand what happens when the body functions abnormally or what we refer to as a state of “dis-ease”.
Here at Better Body Chiropractic & Accident Rehab Center, LLC, this will be the focus of our community education with Human Anatomy and Physiology at the center. We can educate our patients on how the dynamic duo of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy can get them functioning at their optimal level or close to it!
