Chiropractic Conditions in Stuart, FL

How are Chiropractic Conditions Treated?

Chiropractic conditions are treated by bringing the spine and nervous system into harmony. This is the primary goal of chiropractic care, and our team specializes in numerous techniques that accomplish this goal. Some of the chiropractic treatments we may recommend include:

Active Release Techniques

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a manual therapy technique that is commonly used in chiropractic treatments. It involves the use of specific hand movements and pressure to treat soft tissue injuries and conditions. During an ART treatment, we will hands-on techniques to evaluate the texture, tightness, and movement of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Then we’ll use a series of specific hand movements and pressure to treat the affected area. The movements are designed to break up adhesions and scar tissue, improve circulation and range of motion, and reduce pain and inflammation. One of the key benefits of ART is that it can be tailored to the specific needs of each individual patient. 

ART can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis. It's also commonly used to treat sports injuries, as well as injuries from repetitive motion and overuse.

Graston Techniques

Graston chiropractic treatment is a form of manual therapy that uses specialized instruments to identify and treat soft tissue injuries and areas of scar tissue in the body. These instruments help us detect and target areas of dysfunction that may not be apparent with traditional hands-on techniques.

During a Graston treatment, we will use the instruments to scrape along the skin over the injured area, which can help to break up adhesions and scar tissue, improve blood flow and circulation, and promote healing. The scraping motion also helps to stimulate the body's natural inflammatory response, which can trigger the healing process and reduce pain and inflammation. Graston chiropractic treatment is often used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and rotator cuff injuries. It's also commonly used in sports medicine.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy can be used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. With laser therapy treatment, we’ll use a handheld device to deliver focused light energy onto an affected area. The light penetrates the skin and interacts with the cells in the body, triggering a series of biological responses that can lead to pain relief and improved healing. These effects can help to accelerate the healing process, reduce pain and discomfort, and improve overall function.

We typically use Class IV laser therapy due to its wide range of applications. Class IV lasers are particularly effective because they can penetrate deeper into the tissue than other types of lasers. This means that they can effectively treat deep-seated injuries and conditions, such as herniated discs and chronic joint pain.How Much Does it Cost to Treat Chiropractic Conditions?
