Welcome to Kinetic Chiropractic!
We utilize a multi-faceted treatment approach.
Full-Body Chiropractic Care
Dr. C performs adjustments by using her hands to get stuck bones moving again. Doing so restores motion and reduces tension and discomfort. Dr. C utilizes Diversified, Thompson, and Flexion-Distraction chiropractic techniques, as well as extremity adjusting (feet, knees, wrists, shoulders, etc.) For patients who dislike standard adjustments or cannot handle them due to their condition, instrument adjusting (Activator & Arthrostim) is available as an alternative. You may or may not hear a "cracking" sound during your adjustment. That noise is actually just gas releasing within the joint capsule—similar to cracking your knuckles. Adjustments are safe, effective, non-invasive, and can be performed on nearly any joint in the body—not just the spine.
NeuroKinetic Therapy®
If you have ever injured yourself, you owe it to your body to try out NeuroKinetic Therapy®. When injuries occur—regardless of their magnitude—the body establishes compensation patterns. These compensation patterns become a blueprint in your brain, and until that blueprint is rewritten, you will retain those compensation patterns. NeuroKinetic Therapy® is a unique protocol that addresses and corrects soft tissue dysfunctions. Dr. C is a certified Level 3 NeuroKinetic Therapy® Practitioner.
Soft Tissue Treatment
Our office provides specific muscular therapy and myofascial release treatment that is tailored to meet each patient's condition and injury. Both manual and instrument-assisted myofascial release therapy offer a natural, conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. The benefits of soft tissue treatment may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aiding in overall recovery and range of motion. In addition, elastic taping may be administered post-treatment to help support new or old injuries.
Corrective Exercise
We teach our patients special exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problems. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic adjustments. Muscles and connective tissues can be both a cause and an effect of skeletal misalignment. Therefore, it is important to address the muscles, in addition to the bones. Specific exercises and stretches can help improve posture, relieve tension, provide support to injured areas, and keep your body working in harmony.
Elastic Taping
Elastic taping may be administered post-treatment to help support new or old injuries. Elastic taping helps to create space between the soft tissues, which reduces friction, facilitates glide, and reduces inflammation.
