ADJUSTMENTS
Our doctor prefers to use a hands on approach. It is known as a diversified technique which enhances joint mobility and minimizes discomfort in the spine. In addition to the spine, Dr. Michelle also adjusts the other joints in your body, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and feet. Be sure to let her know your aches and pains. If hands on approach isn't for you, we have gentler adjustments available such as the activator technique or drop tables. At our clinic, you will see the the doctor every visit! Don't like your neck adjusted, no problem!
MANUAL THERAPY
During myofascial release, the doctor will apply light pressure to the affected area with her hands. This will cause a natural blood flow to the area making the muscles feel relaxed, and improve elasticity. The doctor may also use tools to help; they are know as instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM), or Graston. The tools help scrape the scar tissue that forms in areas of the body that cause discomfort.
PHISIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy is a form of physical therapy. Physiotherapy is a focused type of rehabilitation that helps the body heal naturally after an injury. At the Accident Clinic of SWFL we use a medical grade electrical stimulation to stimulate the muscles and reduce pain and inflammation. Dr. Michelle will also work one on one with you and teach you different stretches and exercises.
OUR TABLES
Our tables are known as "drop" tables. These tables have pieces that elevate the area that is affected. The doctor will apply a quick thrust to the area which will cause the table to drop. This is known to provide a lighter type of adjustment which is just as effective as the other types of adjustments. Our tables also have flexion distraction. Flexion distraction tables cause the bottom piece of the table to move up and down automatically. This causes the spaces in you back to open up allowing more movement in the spine.
