Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As Doctors of Chiropractic, our treating physicians have had years of training and experience in spinal adjustments. Some of the common techniques utilized at Sunset Hills Chiropractic are Diversified, Thompson, Logan Basic, and Activator techniques.


Non Surgical Spinal Decompression

dt

Spinal Decompression is a non surgical conservative treatment for patients who suffer with low back and neck problems. This treatment slowly lengthens or releases pressure in the spine through repetitive movements. The table pulls and releases, creating a pressure change within the invertebral disc, surrounding soft tissue and joints. Talk to your doctor today to find out if Spinal Decompression is right for you! See link for more information: Read more

Electrical muscle stimulation is used to promote healing by decreasing muscle spasms, promoting blood flow and decreasing inflammation to the area. It's often used in our office as a pre-treatment to help the body and muscles relax before the treatment to help the treatment go more smoothly and last longer.

Laser therapy

Laser therapy is an innovative light therapy treatment that increases new fresh blood to the injured tissue. This treatment is a natural form of therapy to decrease inflammation, stimulate healing in a tissue. Our office typically uses this therapy for foot pain, knee and elbow pain and back pain.

Traction

Gentle stretching to the spine to help decrease tension on spinal discs and spinal bones. Often, our office will use this in cases to help with treatment of degenerative disc disease or arthritis in the spine.


Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach  that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office  provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to  meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of massage  therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is known for its role in pain relief and has had success in managing both acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain, including but not limiting to: TMJ Disorders, nerve entrapment and muscle spasms and strain. Western Medicine has sought to explain acupuncture by using the gate theory of pain and stimulation of the central nervous system to release natural opiates, and as such, acupuncture has also found a role in analgesics. Acupuncture has also been used in conjunction with other therapies to treat a broad array of other health concerns such as: infertility, dysmennorrhea, allergic rhinitis, hemorrhoids, substance abuse disorders, anxiety and depression, and many other health conditions.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each of our patients is unique in their own body and our goal is to help them reach true health and wellness.


Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? The treating physicians at Sunset Hills Chiropractic can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
